"Detecting primary open angle glaucoma in optometric practice"
Abstract:
This lecture presentation will highlight the problems associated with the detection of primary open angle glaucoma in an optometric setting. It will discuss the relationship between structural (optic nerve head) and functional (visual field) measures in glaucoma and provide an explanation as to why defects are often initially found with one technique prior the another.
It will discuss some of the latest theories behind the disease process and how these are leading to new methods of detection/management of primary open angle glaucoma.
Learning Objectives:
- The discriminatory power of various diagnostic techniques for the detection of glaucoma
- The relationship between structural and functional measures of damage in glaucoma
- Developments in instrumentation designed for the detection of glaucoma
