Sharpen your interpretation of OCT progression with this in-depth guide from Dr. Ken Wan! He breaks down the complementary roles of peripapillary RNFL and macular GCIPL scans, explaining why a deviation map often outperforms the standard TSNIT circle and where each parameter hits its measurement floor. The article dissects the "Rule of 5" heuristic—its statistical underpinnings, its high false-positive rate, and when clustered testing should be used to confirm suspected change. A downloadable cheat sheet packages the takeaways, including the case for 6-month testing intervals and how to reset baselines after surgery or treatment changes.

Step into the unpredictable world of trauma-induced glaucoma with Dr. Devyn Moran Glover, who unpacks how ocular injury can elevate IOP—sometimes immediately, sometimes years after the event. She maps both closed- and open-globe trauma, distinguishing early-onset culprits like hyphema and traumatic iritis from late-onset complications such as angle recession, ghost cell glaucoma, and lens dislocation. Treatment protocols are tied to mechanism, with specific guidance on aqueous suppressants, when steroids help (and how they may backfire), and special considerations for sickle cell patients.

Sit down with Dr. Matteo Sacchi to learn how integrated digital platforms are reshaping the co-management of cataract and glaucoma. The interview covers the pre-operative essentials—from IOP and angle configuration to OCT-based anterior chamber analysis—and how unified workflows like the ZEISS Glaucoma Workflow centralize structural, functional, and therapeutic data for sharper decision-making. Dr. Sacchi explains why post-operative platforms matter especially when structural and functional findings disagree, a mismatch present in nearly half of patients, and where emerging AI may soon stratify surgical risk.

Ready to retire the "drops-first" reflex? Drs. Preeya K. Gupta and Deborah Gess Ristvedt break down a new consensus-based protocol from a working group of 10 glaucoma specialists, mapping out stepwise interventions for ocular hypertension and mild, moderate, and severe glaucoma. The article surveys the limitations of topical therapies—IOP fluctuation, side effects, adherence struggles, quality-of-life impact—and lays out the procedural alternatives now reshaping the decision algorithm.

Why wait for progression when the tools to act earlier are already on the shelf? Dr. Christine Funke makes the case for proactive glaucoma management—the shift from "watch and wait" toward earlier laser, MIGS, and procedural pharmaceutical interventions. Dr. Funke also offers practical guidance on adoption, from acknowledging the real limitations of topical therapy to involving patients themselves through lifestyle changes and informed discussion of all available options.

Discover how OCT angiography fills the gaps when standard OCT and visual fields fall short. Dr. Grace Richter walks through four case studies that show OCTA earning its keep—catching pre-perimetric POAG via a superotemporal Y-shaped defect, confirming an inferior nasal step with a pathognomonic wedge defect, and tracking microvasculature dropout in normal-tension glaucoma over 1.5 years.

Watch Drs. Mitch Ibach and Preeya K. Gupta unpack why MD–OD collaboration is the engine of modern glaucoma care. The conversation traces the last decade's shifts—newer topical therapies targeting the trabecular meshwork, a growing case for SLT as first-line care, and procedural pharmaceuticals that take compliance out of the patient's hands. Dr. Ibach shares his four-bucket framework for glaucoma management, explains where MIGS now fit (especially alongside cataract surgery), and frames the discipline as a years-long journey where knowing when to refer is part of the work.
