Activity Outline

Duration: 30 minutes

Synopsis: Glaucoma has long been considered a disease that affects the periphery. Traditional practice emphasize intraocular pressure and optic nerve health assessments, but there's a crucial piece of the puzzle that deserves our central focus—macular health. Join us as we delve into a contemporary perspective on glaucoma assessment, one that highlights the pivotal role of the macula. In this presentation, we will explore how macular health assessment can reshape our understanding of glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring, providing insights that lead to more comprehensive, patient-centered care.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the significance of macula assessment in glaucoma
  • Integrate macular assessment into your glaucoma workup
  • Evaluate and apply a comprehensive approach that can lead to better patient outcomes and early intervention in glaucoma management
