| الوصف: | Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in India. Despite advances in diagnosing and managing glaucoma, there is a lack of India-specific clinical guidelines on glaucoma. Ophthalmologists often refer to the European Glaucoma Society (EGS) and Asia-Pacific Glaucoma Society (APGS) guidelines. A group of glaucoma experts was convened to review the recently released EGS guideline (fifth edition) and the APGS guideline and explore their relevance to the Indian context. This review provides the salient features of EGS and APGS guidelines and their utility in Indian scenario. Glaucoma diagnosis should be based on visual acuity and refractive errors, slit-lamp examination, gonioscopy, tonometry, visual field (VF) testing, and clinical assessment of optic nerve head, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and macula. The intraocular pressure target must be individualized to the eye and revised at every visit. Prostaglandin analogues are the most effective medications and are recommended as the first choice in open-angle glaucoma (OAG). In patients with cataract and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG), phacoemulsification alone or combined phacoemulsification and glaucoma surgery are recommended. Trabeculectomy augmented with antifibrotic agents is recommended as the initial surgical treatment for OAG. Laser peripheral iridotomy and surgery in combination with medical treatment should be considered in high-risk individuals aged |
