Glaucoma remains a leading cause of irreversible blindness globally as progressive optic nerve damage leads to permanent vision loss. Recent advancements in glaucoma management—including novel mechanisms of action, innovative drug delivery systems, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries—may help improve adherence, efficacy, and outcomes.

This unique and engaging multi-media activity focuses on the practical aspects of managing patients with glaucoma, putting recent clinical trial data into clinical context.
