Activity Outline
Early detection and treatment is the key to preventing vision loss from glaucoma. But what options are open to practitioners when an existing treatment regime is no longer working and requires escalation? This webinar will discuss glaucoma progression and associated management options through the use of case studies collected through the CFEH Glaucoma Management Clinic (in collaboration with Prince of Wales Hospital) and the C-EYE-C Program (in collaboration with Westmead Hospital). A specially curated selection of cases will illustrate management strategies that were successfully employed to stabilise glaucoma progression, and guidance will be given on when best to employ each strategy for optimal control.
Learning Objectives
- Identify glaucoma progression using appropriate multimodal imaging
- Discuss the varying mechanisms of action of different glaucoma medications, and the potential synergistic effect when used in combination
- Recognise situations where glaucoma treatment escalation and/or onward referral for surgical intervention may be required for optimal control
