Peer review: Can we drop the drops? A review of contemporary treatment paradigms in glaucoma management
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible sight loss in the world and the mainstays of glaucoma management have remained the same for the last 20 years. Through this peer review we will delve into newer treatments for glaucoma management and how optometrists in the community can work both with secondary care providers to support early detection of glaucoma and have the confidence to discuss treatment options with their patients.
Learning outcome(s):
During the session the delegates can summarise at least three risk factors for the development of POAG and how these contribute to the management of patients with suspect glaucoma. (s11)
After completing this session, delegates can outline at least three surgical treatments available for the management of glaucoma to support patient communication. (s6)
By the end of the session delegates can use NICE guidelines to assess and manage patients with suspect glaucoma (s7).
