Our working definition of POAG Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a chronic, progressive opgc neuropathy in adults in which there is a characterisgc acquired atrophy of the opgc nerve and loss of regnal ganglion cells and their axons. This condigon is associated with an open anterior chamber angle by gonioscopy. ala AAO PPP, January 2016 [What is conspicuous by its absence?] Our working definition of POAG There are some good reasons Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a chronic, progressive opgc neuropathy in adults in which there is a characterisgc acquired atrophy of the opgc nerve and loss of regnal ganglion cells and their axons. This condigon is associated with an open anterior chamber angle by gonioscopy. Primary open-angle glaucoma represents a spectrum of disease in adults in which the suscepgbility of the opgc nerve to damage varies among pagents. Although many paaents with POAG present with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), nearly 40% of those with otherwise characterisac POAG may not have elevated IOP measurements. The vast majority of pagents with POAG have disc changes or disc and visual field changes, but there are rare cases where there may be early visual field changes before there are detectable changes to the opgc nerve. ala AAO PPP, January

2 There are some good reasons There are some good reasons Glaucoma perspectives from the experts Intraocular pressure (IOP) relates to, but does not define, glaucoma. Many condigons labeled glaucoma have an IOP sufficiently elevated that it may produce ocular symptoms such as visual acuity loss or pain. Also included in the glaucoma category are cases with characterisgc opgc nerve damage without elevated IOP. Chang TC, Ramulu R Hodapp E. Clinical Decisions in Glaucoma, 2e. Bascom Palmer Eye InsGtute Glaucoma perspectives from the experts The pathophysiology of chronic glaucomatous opgc nerve damage has received much a^engon but mostly remains clinically tangengal. In the future it may be possible to modify elements other than IOP that contribute to opgc nerve damage. Currently, however, IOP reducgon is the only established method of slowing or halgng glaucomatous progression. The goal of long-term glaucoma management is to lower the IOP enough to prevent visual loss related to opgc nerve damage. Chang TC, Ramulu R Hodapp E. Clinical Decisions in Glaucoma, 2e. Bascom Palmer Eye InsGtute Glaucoma perspectives from the experts 1. The higher the IOP, the greater the risk of acquiring glaucomatous damage, and the greater the rate of glaucomatous progression. 2. There are factors other than IOP that contribute to opgc nerve damage and determine an individual s suscepgbility to harm from IOP, but there is, at the moment, no effecgve treatment for glaucoma other than IOP reducgon. 3. In pagents with glaucoma, lowering IOP decreases the rate of glaucomatous damage, but there is no way to know with certainty at what IOP level glaucomatous damage ceases or will be acceptably slow for a given person. Chang TC, Ramulu R Hodapp E. Clinical Decisions in Glaucoma, 2e. Bascom Palmer Eye InsGtute Glaucoma perspectives from the experts 4. Every method of lowering the IOP causes side effects, costs money, and involves risk to the pagent. 5. The goal of treatment for glaucoma is to lower IOP enough to preserve good vision for the lifegme of the pagent while causing as few side effects and incurring as few costs as possible. Chang TC, Ramulu R Hodapp E. Clinical Decisions in Glaucoma, 2e. Bascom Palmer Eye InsGtute

3 Glaucoma perspectives from theexperts Glaucoma perspectives from the experts Few dispute the importance of decreasing the IOP in pagents with glaucoma. However the relagonship between the degree of IOP elevagon and the rate of damage varies from person to person, and hence the benefit of lowering the IOP varies among individuals. So, IOP has some significance And, it is measured via tonometry For each pagent, the benefit of lowering IOP should outweigh the risks and cost of the treatment. Chang TC, Ramulu R Hodapp E. Clinical Decisions in Glaucoma, 2e. Bascom Palmer Eye InsGtute What is the IOP at this endpoint? What is the IOP at this endpoint? Advantages and disadvantages of contemporary tonometers Rebound tonometry FDA cleared + Well accepted + Generally convenient + Generally pagent friendly + ORA gives corneal hysteresis measurement + Tono-pen and air puff tend to underesgmate at higher IOP (> 28 mm Hg) Goldmann readings influenced by CCT Some require topical anesthesia Pascal is based on choroidal pulse but not influenced by CCT; essengally a pneumotonometer +/- ConGnuous IOP monitoring via a strain gauge (a 24-hour cycle) by Triggerfish device +/- 3
