Browse articles from EyeWorld.org related to glaucoma. EyeWorld is the award-winning member publication of ASCRS. The magazine provides news and updates from the Society as well as clinical features in the areas of cataract, refractive, cornea, glaucoma, and practice management. It publishes quarterly with editorial direction from its medical editorial board and staff.
EyeWorld Glaucoma Editor Nathan Radcliffe, MD, previews the articles in the Glaucoma section of the issue, specifically highlighting some of the advances and changes coming to the field.
While modern angle surgery has been a boon for patients and physicians wishing to avoid or delay more invasive glaucoma procedures and/or reduce the number of topical medications, cyclodialysis cleft, while rare, is still a complication that can occur.
In some glaucoma practices, selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) has become a mainstay option at various stages of disease and treatment. However, some ophthalmologists say that despite its diverse utility, SLT adoption has been slow in other practices, and a more recent advancement in related technology could increase adoption.
With many expanding technologies in ophthalmology, it makes sense that teaching modalities in the field would expand as well. Anuradha Khanna, MD, created the OcuSim virtual reality training, designed to be used specifically with the Oculus headset, to help teach some of the anatomy and knowledge needed in ophthalmic training.
