Activity Outline
Ocular surface disease (OSD) is a debilitating condition that causes chronic ocular discomfort and impaired vision. It occurs at a higher rate in patients receiving treatment for glaucoma and undermines one of the primary treatment objectives in glaucoma management – to maximise quality of life (QoL). Carly James and Dr Colin Clement discuss the major risk factors for developing ocular surface disease in patients with glaucoma and explain why minimally invasive glaucoma surgery may be an optimal approach to treatment.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the role of the ocular surface
- Be aware of how the integrity of the ocular surface can be disrupted
- Understand how minimally invasive glaucoma surgery can protect the ocular surface by minimising the use of topical glaucoma drops
