Combined MIGS Procedures with Won Kim, ep 32
A talk with Won I. Kim, a staff Ophthalmologist and Glaucoma Specialist at Walter Reed in Bethesda, MD, discussing combined minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries as an option for treatment of glaucoma that has failed traditional surgeries.
Intro:
My apologies for the >1 year gap since my last episode. It's been quite the year moving my work back to full time in Vancouver and providing patient care in our new normal of a pandemic. There are many more episodes that have been recorded; I'll keep trying to get them posted more often. Email me at podcast@iguy.org if you would like to be on the show.
In this episode, I talk with Won Kim, a glaucoma colleague based at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, about why he has been combining multiple minimally invasive glaucoma procedures in patients who have failed traditional glaucoma surgery. I'm Rob Schertzer, a Vancouver, Canada based glaucoma specialist, podcaster and HealthIT expert, and we're...talking about glaucoma.

Won Kim
Finished residency in 2005. Finished glaucoma fellowship at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in 2009. Served active duty in the Army for 21 years serving at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Fort Sam Houston, Fort Benning, and finishing as the Program Director for the Ophthalmology Residency Program at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. I retired out of the Army in 2021 and went into private practice with Eye Doctors of Washington with offices in Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. I currently specialize in cataract and glaucoma surgery. My current passion is adopting new glaucoma procedures, keeping track of outcomes, and finding innovative ways to perform or combine glaucoma surgeries. I currently perform trabeculectomy, glaucoma drainage implants both valved and non-valved, Xen 45 gel stent, micropulse TLT, endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation, iStent, Hydrus, ab interno canalplasty, goniotomy, and trabeculotomy. I love educating residents and patients and very much enjoy the constant exchange of ideas with peers. I aim to never become stagnant or complacent and hope to keep pressing forward seeking ways to deliver better care.
