Applied Glaucoma Care: Complex Cases, Progression Analysis, and Long-Term Management

Complex glaucoma care requires integrated longitudinal reasoning across progression analysis, treatment escalation, and chronic adherence support. This applied course teaches that integration through case-based modules. By the end of this course you will be able to manage complex glaucoma cases, conduct progression analysis using available tools, plan treatment escalation, and support patients across the long arc of chronic disease. What you will learn: - Approaches to progression analysis using visual field and OCT trends - Frameworks for treatment escalation including timing decisions - Approaches to glaucoma in special populations including pediatric and pigmentary forms - Approaches to angle-closure cases including laser peripheral iridotomy considerations - Approaches to medication adherence support over years - Approaches to co-management between optometry and ophthalmology - Continuous improvement frameworks for glaucoma services The course is structured around case-based applied modules. Each module presents a complex scenario, walks through structured reasoning, and produces a written approach you compare against the worked-through example. This course is written for optometrists and ophthalmologists deepening glaucoma practice. It does not replace supervised clinical training or specialty mentorship. By the end you will have structured frameworks for complex glaucoma cases and long-term management.
