Discover the keys to preventing vision loss with our comprehensive guide to the top glaucoma treatments! In this video, Dr. John Legarreta, a board-certified ophthalmologist, reveals everything you need to know about managing open-angle glaucoma. What you'll learn includes tips on choosing the right treatment, from powerful eye drops to cutting-edge surgeries like laser eye surgery and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Key Points: Understanding open-angle glaucoma and its impact on vision. Exploring different eye drops: prostaglandin analogs, beta blockers, alpha agonists, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and Rho kinase inhibitors. Discussing expectations and managing open-angle glaucoma with clinical trial results and personal experiences. Evaluating surgical options: trabeculectomy, glaucoma drainage devices, and MIGS. Remember, managing this condition is a lifelong journey. Consult with your healthcare professional for personalized advice. ******************************************************************************************************** *What is Open-Angle Glaucoma?* Open-angle glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma. It’s a chronic condition where the drainage canals of the eye gradually become less efficient, causing increased eye pressure (intraocular pressure). Over time, this pressure can damage the optic nerve, leading to vision loss if untreated. *Eye Drops for Glaucoma – First-Line Treatment* Eye drops are usually the first step in treating open-angle glaucoma. These drops aim to either reduce the production of fluid in the eye or improve the outflow, lowering eye pressure. Let's break down the main types. 1. Prostaglandin Analogues (e.g., Latanoprost, Travoprost) Prostaglandin analogues are the most commonly prescribed. They work by increasing the outflow of fluid from the eye. 2. Beta-Blockers (e.g., Timolol, Betaxolol) Beta-blockers work by reducing the production of fluid inside the eye." 3. Alpha Agonists (e.g., Brimonidine) Alpha agonists both reduce fluid production and improve fluid outflow. They also offer some protection to the optic nerve. 4. Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors (e.g., Dorzolamide, Brinzolamide) These drops reduce fluid production by targeting specific enzymes in the eye." 5. Rho Kinase Inhibitors (e.g., Netarsudil) Rho kinase inhibitors are newer on the market and work by relaxing the drainage channels to increase fluid outflow." *When Eye Drops Aren’t Enough – Glaucoma Surgery Options* Sometimes, despite using eye drops, pressure control remains inadequate. In such cases, surgery might be recommended. Let’s explore the most common surgical options. 1. Laser Trabeculoplasty This procedure uses a laser to improve the drainage system in the eye, reducing pressure. 2. Trabeculectomy In this procedure, a tiny flap is created in the white part of the eye to allow fluid to drain. 3. Glaucoma Drainage Devices (e.g., Tubes and Shunts) These devices are implanted to provide an alternative drainage pathway. 4. Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) MIGS procedures involve placing tiny devices to improve drainage. They’re less invasive with quicker recovery times. ******************************************************************************************************** Subscribe for more content on eye health, vision correction, and cataract surgery.
