Session overview
Clinical management of glaucoma is not always straightforward. In addition to diagnostic and treatment issues, patients do not always respond to therapy as expected. Through a case-based presentation and interactive discussion, a variety of glaucoma management dilemmas will be discussed. The various diagnosis and treatment options presented will give guidance that is both evidence-based and reflective of real world clinical experience.
