OHT, POAG & NTG | Principles of Glaucoma Management

In this session, we touch on Ocular Hypertension, Primary Open Angle Glaucoma and Normotensive Glaucoma. We also look at the core principles of assessing and managing a glaucoma patient. Key themes include: ⭐ Understanding the anatomy of aqueous outflow and why pressure fluctuates. ⭐ Differentiating ocular hypertension from POAG & NTG and identifying risk factors for conversion. ⭐ Systematic assessment of glaucoma patients: cause vs effect, angle assessment, disc/OCT/field correlation. ⭐ Risk stratification: pressure, age, ethnicity, CCT, optic nerve features. ⭐ Principles of medical, laser, and surgical treatment — and when to escalate. ⭐ Overview of common procedures: SLT, MIGS, trabeculectomy, shunts. ⭐ Practical clinic tips for assessing blebs Take-home messages 🌟 Always separate cause from effect when assessing glaucoma — don’t skip gonioscopy. 🌟 Risk factors and dynamic change drive your management decisions. 🌟 Ocular hypertension doesn’t always need treatment — assess risk first. 🌟 SLT is now a first-line option and can reduce drop burden significantly. 🌟 Understand the why behind treatment choices, not just the ladder. 🔗 Join the WhatsApp group for live teaching updates: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KoTWgwUWL7D... 📝 Leave feedback for future sessions: https://forms.gle/DDBfq5cTLSBaUJnL6
