Abstract

GLAUCOMA IS A SPECIALITY WITH MANY GREY ZONES, WITH NO BLACK OR WHITE, WHETHER ITS DIAGNOSTICS, MEDICAL OR SURGICAL MANAGEMENT. IN THIS COURSE WE WILL LOOK AT A FEW OF THESE TOPICS & TRY TO REACH A CONSENSUS USING AN INTERESTING DEBATE APPROACH. STRUCTURE VS FUNCTION IS AN AGE OLD, OFTEN ASKED QUESTION. WE WILL ASSESS IMAGING VS PERIMETRY IN GLAUCOMA DIAGNOSIS & PROGRESSION TO SEE IF THEY ARE COMPLEMENTARY OR SUPPLEMENTARY TO EACH OTHER. MINIMALLY INVASIVE GLAUCOMA SURGERY OR MIGS IS THE FUTURE OF GLAUCOMA SURGERY. THERE IS A LARGE POOL OF CONTROLLED GLAUCOMA PATIENTS ON MEDICATIONS & WE NEED TO ASSESS IF THEY ARE LIKELY CANDIDATES FOR MIGS OR THEY SHOULD CONTINUE MEDICATIONS TO REMAIN STABLE. AND THE MOST DEBATABLE TOPIC OF ALL, THE CHOICE OF TRABECULECTOMY VS TUBE AS FIRST LINE SURGERY IN PRIMARY GLAUCOMAS. AS WORLDWIDE SURGICAL PREFERENCES SHIFT TOWARDS IMPLANTS, IS IT TIME IN INDIA TO TAKE THE PLUNGE TOWARDS A VALVED OR NONVALVED DEVICE OR STICK TO THE TIME TESTED TRABECULECTOMY?
