Overview

A Glaucoma Specialist is an ophthalmologist with advanced training in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma, a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve—often due to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). These specialists use a combination of medical, laser, and surgical treatments to preserve vision and prevent progression of this potentially blinding disease.

Job Description
  1. Diagnose various types of glaucoma, including primary open-angle, angle-closure, congenital, and secondary glaucoma using tools like visual field testing, OCT, and tonometry.
  2. Manage intraocular pressure through medications (eye drops or systemic), lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring.
  3. Perform laser procedures, such as laser trabeculoplasty (SLT/ALT) and iridotomy, to improve aqueous outflow or relieve angle closure.
  4. Carry out surgical interventions like trabeculectomy, tube shunt implantation, or minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) when medication and laser treatments are insufficient.
  5. Provide long-term follow-up care to track disease progression and adjust treatment as needed for each patient.
  6. Educate patients about glaucoma risks, treatment compliance, and the importance of early detection and regular eye exams.
  7. Collaborate with optometrists and general ophthalmologists for co-management and referral of complex cases.
