This activity will explore updated approaches to the management of glaucoma—the “silent thief of sight” that affects an estimated 3 million Americans. It will examine the latest evidence from recent studies on minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedures and discuss comparative data on more invasive surgical techniques such as trabeculectomy and tube shunt surgery. Patient cases will be introduced to enhance participants’ understanding of the glaucoma treatment process. In addition, potential future innovations in glaucoma treatment will be discussed.
