What Scares You, Scares Me Too

Presented by Lesya Shuba, MD, PhD, FRCSC

This module will consist of interactive discussion of clinical cases, allowing participants to discuss some challenging clinical scenarios in glaucoma. Participants will have a chance to review common features of glaucoma as opposed to other optic neuropathies, discuss unusual cases of inflammatory glaucoma, the diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas of glaucoma in high myopic individuals, and the challenges of dealing with pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma, among others. The clinical cases presented in this module were selected to generate discussion, with several particularities of the cases highlighting the “beyond the evidence” general theme for this program, where no clear right or wrong answer exists.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss the differential diagnosis of optic neuropathy
  • Review inflammatory glaucomas and how to correctly diagnose and treat them
  • Discuss pearls and pitfalls of OCT imaging in glaucoma
  • Management of pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma
  • Discuss clues and management for conditions masquerading as glaucoma
