COS-2 Clinical update: glaucoma

Thursday, June 5
1045-1215
Room: 200 CD

Objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the impact of 24-hour intraocular pressure fluctuation on glaucoma progression
  • Describe the management and diagnosis of glaucomas with fluctuating intraocular pressures: low-tension glaucoma, pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and pigment dispersion glaucoma
  • Apply the knowledge of the 24-hour intraocular pressure fluctuation to the management of glaucoma in individual patients
