    Excellent podcast! I am not a dr., I am a person with glaucoma. I just listened to the epi with Dr. Singh, a patient’s case and the survey on assorted social media. I am over in Madison, WI and I have not been impressed with the doctors that I have seen as they never look or treated me holistically since we don’t know why I have glaucoma. I have been reading about Dr. Singh and I would love to see him as he sounds like a dr. that likes to try to new and cutting edge things. Here is what my curre... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Survey Says: Reducing Medication Burden for an Unhappy Patient
Q: What would you do next after the history of this case?
The panel suggests a careful, staged approach: consider repeating angle procedures (canaloplasty + goniotomy) and potentially place an eye dose or perform a Zen, with a strong emphasis on improved quality of life and avoiding leaving the patient on three medications if possible.
Tube Erosion
Q: What is tube erosion and why is it important to understand in glaucoma drainage implants?
Tube erosion refers to thinning and degradation of conjunctival tissue over the implant caused by inflammation and mechanical pressure, a condition that can lead to serious infections and vision-threatening complications if not managed with timely surgical intervention.
Survey Says: Fluctuating IOP and Poor Compliance
Q: How do you approach medication compliance issues with patients?
Create a safe space for patients to be honest about their compliance, acknowledging that it can be difficult to take medications as prescribed.
Survey Says: Fluctuating IOP and Poor Compliance
Q: What are your thoughts on target pressure for this patient?
The target pressure should probably be in the mid teens, preferably off all medications.
Initial Visits and Long-term Care of Glaucoma Patients in Primary Eye Care Settings
Q: How do you detect progression in your glaucoma patients?
I utilize IOP readings and structure-function relationships using visual fields and OCT.
