Glaucoma Debate Club: Cases in Sustained IOP Control (Archived CME Webcast)
This educational activity has expired. You will not be able to claim credit for this activity.
Activity Description and Purpose
The successful treatment of glaucoma is challenged by many factors, including patient nonadherence to topical therapies, waning efficacy of topical therapies as disease progresses, and risks associated with traditional glaucoma surgery. As a result, several new approaches have been introduced, including sustained drug-eluting devices and minimally invasive surgical procedures. The choice of intervention is not straightforward, and a nuanced, patient-centered approach to selection is needed. In this educational activity, experts will use cases and a debate-style format to explore different treatment options for a variety of patient scenarios. The desired results of this educational activity are to enable glaucoma specialists and other ophthalmologists to confidently incorporate various new treatments beyond topical drugs to improve visual outcomes for patients with glaucoma.
Target Audience
This educational activity is intended for glaucoma specialists and other ophthalmologists caring for patients with glaucoma.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, participants will be better able to:
- Review safety and efficacy data for approved and emerging sustained drug delivery devices for glaucoma
- Identify patients with glaucoma who are most likely to benefit from sustained drug delivery treatment
- Choose appropriate MIGS procedures for a variety of patient scenarios
