Glaucoma is a very common cause of vision loss that has plagues the world since its infancy. Recently, a revolution has occurred in the field of glaucoma with the discovery of many newer treatment options; both medical and surgical, especially with the advent of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. This course aims to package all those treatment options into a single bundle and deliver all the necessary information to the student in a concise yet all-inclusive fashion. We stress the vital aspects of each treatment option as we go through the medical treatment like prostaglandin analogues, beta blockers, alpha agonists, cholinergic agonists, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, rho kinase inhibitors, hyperosmolar agents, as well as the surgical treatment such as laser trabeculoplasty, peripheral iridotomy, trabeculectomy, trabeculotomy, goniotomy, shunt devices, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, and finally cyclodestructive procedures. Each line of those is given the proper time focusing on its indications, contraindications, methods, as well as specific vital key points. The course is supplemented with a huge bundle of images to facilitate information retention and understanding at each level and is very light on written text to make sure the student understands rather than memorize this vital beast of a topic. Best of luck to every learner.
