Talk Description
Graham Lakkis presents on Interventional Glaucoma - A Paradigm Shift?
Duration: 30 minutes
Synopsis: Traditional glaucoma management relies predominantly on topical therapy, with surgical intervention reserved for advanced and rapidly progressing cases. A paradigm shift in glaucoma management is yielding potential improvements in patient outcomes through continuous 24-hour IOP control using interventions such as SLT, cataract surgery and MIGS. This presentation will discuss interventional glaucoma paradigms in different sub-types of glaucoma, and guide the optometrist on how to incorporate these strategies into their glaucoma management.
