The Pathophysiology and Treatment of Glaucoma: A Review
TL;DR: Primary care physicians can play an important role in the diagnosis of glaucoma by referring patients with positive family history or with suspicious optic nerve head findings for complete ophthalmologic examination and can improve treatment outcomes by reinforcing the importance of medication adherence and persistence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary open-angle glaucoma.
Robert N. Weinreb,Peng T. Khaw +1 more
TL;DR: Improvements in therapy consist of more effective and better-tolerated drugs to lower intraocular pressure, and more effective surgical procedures to directly treat and protect the retinal ganglion cells that are damaged in glaucoma.

TL;DR: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type and management of POAG includes topical drug therapies and surgery to reduce IOP, although new therapies targeting neuroprotection of RGCs and axonal regeneration are under development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of retinal nerve fiber layer, optic nerve head, and macular thickness measurements for glaucoma detection using optical coherence tomography
Felipe A. Medeiros,Felipe A. Medeiros,Linda M. Zangwill,Christopher Bowd,Roberto M. Vessani,Remo Susanna,Robert N. Weinreb +6 more
TL;DR: RNFL and ONH measurements had the best discriminating performance among the several Stratus OCT parameters and improved the diagnostic accuracy for glaucoma detection using this instrument.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of ocular surface disease in glaucoma patients.
TL;DR: The coexistence of OSD and the use of BAK-containing medications may impact vision-related quality of life in this patient population of glaucoma patients.
