Abstract
IT IS INDEED A HERCULEAN TASK WHILE DEALING WITH GLAUCOMA TO TAKE CRITICAL DECISIONS WHICH CAN HELP A PERSON MAINTAIN USEFUL VISION THROUGHOUT LIFE. ONE OF THE MAJOR CHALLENGES IS TO DECIDE IF THE PATIENT NEEDS SURGERY AND WHAT IS MAXIMUM MEDICAL THERAPY WHICH IS MAINTAINABLE. IF SURGERY THEN WHETHER WE SHOULD DO ONLY TRABECULECTOMY, ONLY CATARACT OR A COMBINED SURGERY. ALSO THE PROBLEM OF DECIDING IF A MYOPE IS A GLAUCOMA PATIENT IS A BIG CHALLENGE FOR A ROUTINE OPHTHALMOLOGIST. TO TREAT OR NOT TREAT AN OCULAR HYPERTENSIVE AND AN NTG ARE AGAIN CHALLENGING DECISIONS. SIMILAR PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN WE ARE WONDERING IF WE SHOULD OPERATE A UNCONTROLLED GLAUCOMA WITH LOW VISION AND WHAT PROCEDURE TO PERFORM. WE WISH TO DISCUSS THESE PROBLEMS SO THAT A GENERAL OPHTHALMOLOGIST IS CLEAR ON THE DECISION MAKING.
