Glaucoma: Diagnosis, Monitoring & Surgery

Glaucoma remains a leading cause of irreversible blindness, and this track provides a comprehensive view of modern diagnostic tools, therapeutic options, and surgical interventions. Participants will learn how to interpret visual fields, OCT, and angle imaging to detect early disease and progression. Advances in intraocular pressure monitoring, including contact lens sensors and home tonometry, will be showcased. Medical management sessions will focus on new drug classes, fixed combinations, and patient adherence strategies. The surgical segment will feature updates on minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS), trabeculectomy, tube shunts, and laser therapies like SLT and micropulse diode laser. Experts will discuss evidence-based algorithms for treatment escalation, complications, and long-term monitoring. Interactive case studies and debates will help clinicians refine decision-making in complex cases. This session is essential for ophthalmologists aiming to stay ahead in glaucoma care through technology, individualized treatment, and integrated surgical and medical approaches.
