  1. Main Stage
    This lecture will focus on how optometrists can play a vital role in tackling the growing glaucoma burden in the UK. We will explore strategies to improve patient compliance, support caregivers, raise public awareness, and enhance the detection and management of glaucoma suspects. Special attention will be given to the management of glaucoma patients with cataracts, particularly the potential benefits of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). In the UK, managing patients with both conditions requires a tailored approach, considering factors such as disease severity, glaucoma type, and overall eye health, to achieve better long-term outcomes.
