Overview
Glaucoma is known as the silent thief of sight. It is the number one cause of irreversible blindness in the world. It affects approximately 70 million people worldwide. It is a chronic, progressive disease described as an optic neuropathy characterized by optic disc or retinal nerve fiber structural abnormalities and corresponding visual field defects. Approximately 50% of POAG remains undiagnosed and untreated. In this course we will discuss the impact of glaucoma in our patient population and steps we can take to be certain we never fail to diagnose and initiate treatment in our patients. We will review best practices in starting the first drop, adding the second and third drops and when and how to refer. We will review patient education options and the importance of and role of technology in the diagnosis, treatment and management of glaucoma. At the conclusion of this course we will leave the optometric team with a better understanding of how to seamlessly incorporate glaucoma screening, diagnosis and care into our practice for the best outcomes for our patients. Together lets walk though how to follow a suspect vs a mild, moderate, and/or severe patient with, of course, a conversation on coding and billing.
