Keeping the Pressure Off: A Holistic Approach to Proactive Glaucoma Care
Available from: 3/03/2025 (AEDT)
Provider: Mivision
Activity Outline
‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ or, in the case of glaucoma, potentially multiple mmHg of intraocular pressure (IOP) control. Glaucoma touches over 200,000 Australians,1 and costs us AU$4.3 billion per year.2 However, despite the high prevalence and cost burden, glaucoma management often begins only after measurable disease progression, and often remains focussed on IOP control alone. Drs Daniel Liu and Brian Ang present an alternate, proactive model of glaucoma care.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the association between physical activity and eye health in glaucoma
- Be aware of how psychological stress can influence intraocular pressure control
- Realise the impact of diet, sleep, and nutrition on glaucoma progression
