Activity Outline
Glaucoma is the leading cause of permanent blindness
worldwide, with prevalence projected to increase over time. Treatment of open
angle glaucoma (OAG) focusses on reducing intraocular pressure (IOP), which has
been established as the only proven modifiable risk factor in disease
progression.1-6 While topical medications were once the first-line
treatment for glaucoma management, Dr Phoebe Moore proposes that the paradigm
is shifting towards early implementation of interventional and surgical
treatment options.
Learning Objectives

- Recognise the risks and benefits of interventional treatment
- Be aware of which patients are suitable for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)
- Be cognisant of risks associated with MIGS compared to long-term topical therapy
