a resident who feels that glaucoma clinic decision-making still feels fragmented,
an ophthalmology trainee who wants a practical framework rather than textbook overload,
a junior eye doctor who wants to stage, document, and treat glaucoma patients more confidently,
or a clinician who wants to stop second-guessing progression, staging, and treatment choices.
you are looking for a highly academic research review,
you already feel fully confident managing glaucoma independently,
or you want a general ophthalmology survey rather than a focused glaucoma system.

WELCOME! Welcome to my online course on the clinical basics of Glaucoma.
Watch the video to find out how this course is structured.

I use this documentation format in my clinic for EVERY SINGLE VISIT. It helps me to never forget anything important. And when reviewing the file I can understand a whole complex Glaucoma history in a matter of seconds.
Before we dive into how to classify, stage and treat Glaucoma, we first need to diagnose it correctly.
In This chapter, you'll learn what to look for to diagnose Glaucoma.
Because the treatment of Glaucoma largely depends on the type it is extremely important to be able to distinguish between the different types. Especially between closed and open angle Glaucoma.
In this chapter you get a nice overview over the types of Glaucoma and we dive deep into open versus closed angle with gonioscopy and ASOCT
It is very important to always be aware what stage of Glaucoma your patient is in.
The stage largely influences how aggressive you will be with your treatment.
In this chapter you'll learn that progression is THE KEY to Glaucoma treatment.
Learn how to spot progression in the optic nerve, OCT and visual field
Learn the different ways to measure IOP and how to interpret them
Learn how to treat Glaucoma.
Get a great overview of medication, lasers and different surgical techniques to treat Glaucoma.
