Abstract Lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) has been central to glaucoma care for over a century. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgical (MIGS) devices are able to exploit different aspects of aqueous outflow to reduce IOP. Increasing aqueous humour outflow may be achieved either through facilitating the existing pathways of Schlemm’s canal and the suprachoroidal space or to bypass the normal angle anatomy to create a full thickness fistula into the subconjunctival space. A complete understanding of angle anatomy and outflow pathways is important to develop new treatment strategies, improve current ones and better target the right operation for particular glaucoma subtypes.
