Glaucoma: therapeutic updates, best practices, and barriers to effective care

Details

This free online CME course provides insights about Glaucoma and will help physicians better treat patients suffering from the disease.

Topics covered in the course include:

• Monitoring intraocular pressure (IOP) and optimizing targets.
• Current and emerging treatment options for glaucoma.

After completing this course, you will better be able to:

• Individualize intraocular pressure targets based on known risk factors and patient-specific characteristics, and optimize assessment of intraocular pressure profiles to readily identify peaks and fluctuations
• Identify first-line pharmacotherapies, laser therapies, and glaucoma implants for lowering intraocular pressure, and select appropriate monotherapies and combination therapies for patients
• Discuss present and emerging pharmacotherapies currently in clinical development and their mechanisms of action, and apply those therapies to patient cases
• Describe barriers to care in the treatment of patients with glaucoma and what clinicians may do to aide patients in circumventing them

Ophthalmologists; physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and pharmacists with an interest in ophthalmology or diseases affecting the eye; and any other healthcare professionals with an interest in or who clinically encounter patients with glaucoma.
