- Advancements in interventional glaucoma therapy aim to enhance intraocular pressure (IOP) control and improve long-term outcomes.
- Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS), and procedural pharmaceuticals are gaining traction as alternatives or adjuncts to traditional therapies.
- Comprehensive IOP control is emphasized by targeting multiple mechanisms—including trabecular and uveoscleral outflow, aqueous suppression, and episcleral venous pressure—to balance aqueous humor production and outflow.
- Patients may require multiple medications or retreatment to achieve target IOP levels.
- A combination of treatments can minimize or eliminate the need for daily self-dosing of topical medications, and reduce medication burden for patients.
