MIGS 2025 Moorfields International Glaucoma Symposium

The Moorfields International Glaucoma Symposium (MIGS) is an annual conference focused on Glaucoma Research and Innovation, Clinical Trends and Challenges as well as Service Delivery.

In 2025, they’ll celebrate their 17^th meeting since the inaugural MIGS in 2008, the event will take place on January 25^th and 26^th, 2025 at the Royal College of Physicians in London.

The programme is developed each year by a group of glaucoma specialists from Moorfields Eye Hospital and delivered by an array of internationally distinguished speakers, with the aim of achieving an entertaining, if not sometimes irreverent agenda, as free of commercial bias as possible, discussing topical and current issues facing clinicians. The goal is to deliver an engaging and occasionally unconventional agenda, striving to remain as free from commercial bias as possible, while addressing relevant and current issues faced by clinicians, such as glaucoma treatments and advancements in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).

With a dedicated focus on education in ophthalmology, Laboratoires Théa have been the unique sponsor of MIGS since 2015. The 2025 symposia is set to welcome delegates from around the world with an increasingly popular programme, addressing key topics such as intraocular pressure management, the safety profile of new devices, and the importance of protecting the optic nerve to prevent vision loss.

Topics for MIGS 2025

• Artificial Intelligence and Glaucoma
• Regrowing Ganglion Cells,
• Glaucoma and Sleep
• Refractive Cataract Surgery in a Glaucoma Practice
• Glaucoma in our 4+Legged Friends
• Retina Essentials for Glaucoma Doctors
• Corneal Biomechanics and the Ocular Surface

The symposium will also include discussions on the latest advances in MIGS (minimally invasive glaucoma surgery), with a focus on improving outcomes for glaucoma patients, particularly through techniques aimed at reducing intraocular pressure and preserving the eye’s natural drainage system.

International Speakers Announced for MIGS 2025

Internationally renowned speakers have been confirmed for MIGS 2025, promising a diverse and insightful programme. Among the esteemed faculty are Cynthia Roberts, a leading expert in biomedical engineering and ophthalmology at The Ohio State University, and Carol Karp, a tenured professor at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, USA. The event will also feature Pradeep Ramulu, director of the glaucoma division at Johns Hopkins Medicine, and Karsten Klabe, a pioneering head surgeon at Breyer-Kaymak-Klabe in Düsseldorf, Germany. Adding a multidisciplinary perspective, Clarisa Sanchez Gutierrez, Professor of AI and Health from the University of Amsterdam, and Minguang He, Chair Professor of Experimental Ophthalmology at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, will share their expertise. From the other side of the globe, Ben Sivyer of the Casey Eye Institute in Portland, USA, and Jonathon Crowston from the University of Sydney, Australia, will contribute their vast clinical and research knowledge.
