Look Beyond the Bottle in Glaucoma Care

Embracing interventional glaucoma will enhance future treatment and outcomes.

1

Glaucoma is often mismanaged, with 90% of patients failing to adhere to prescribed drop therapy, leading to disease progression and vision loss.
2

Interventional glaucoma approaches can improve patient quality of life by stabilizing intraocular pressure and delaying disease progression.
3

Topical medications are effective but often used as a bridge therapy due to high rates of nonadherence and side effects.
4

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) offers safer options for early intervention compared to traditional surgical methods.
5

The LiGHT trial shows early selective laser trabeculoplasty can achieve better IOP control and reduce medication dependence over time.
