Summary
Interventional glaucoma is a quite a new term which encompasses earlier and more “invasive” glaucoma management, often utilising newer strategies like minimally invasive glaucoma surgery.
There is increasing evidence that interventional glaucoma provides better long term vision outcomes and with more modern and safer techniques, this is proving to be a paradigm shift in how we manage glaucoma patients. Faster, earlier, better. This talk will discuss the above and outcomes listed below.
Learning Objectives:
- why do we need to intervene? (studies show aggressive management results in better long term vision outcomes)
- what surgical interventions are available?
Max CPD hours awarded: 1hr Therapeutic Interactive
