TITLE:  A Review of Glaucoma Examination Procedures and New Instrumentation

ABSTRACT: Glaucoma is the third most common cause of blindness in the United States, with over 120,000 legally blind from the disease. Over 3 million people in the U.S. have the diagnosis; of those diagnosed, about half have a visual impairment. Over 70% of glaucoma is of the primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) type. In addition, between 6-12 million people in the U.S. have elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), or ocular hypertension. Almost 5 million office visits per year are due to glaucoma. This course takes a procedure-based approach to provide a basic review and update on examination tests, diagnostic signs, and new instrumentation for glaucoma management.
