As an initially asymptomatic disease, open angle glaucoma is the most common form of irreversible blindness in the world. Fortunately, vision loss may be slowed if effective treatment is initiated in a timely manner.
This podcast supports pharmacists and optometrists in optimizing glaucoma management by providing practical guidance to help ensure effective management of patients with glaucoma. Using a question-and-answer format, the podcast explores topics such as promoting an earlier diagnosis of glaucoma, counseling patients on a new glaucoma topical medication prescription, addressing common barriers to topical medication adherence, and enhancing discussion and collaboration between pharmacists and optometrists.
