We have been already discussing that glaucoma is a silent blinding disorder. If it is not treated or diagnosed in time. However present status of glaucoma as far as management of glaucoma either by medical and surgical means is much better than before. Reasons being recent advances in all branches of ophthalmology.
These days we have glaucoma expert and their is a sperate clinic for glaucoma were patients with glaucoma are screened and followed up also a lot of research is going on in this field. A lot of modifications in operative procedures is taking place and also a lot of new antiglaucoma drugs are coming up. At the same time community, ophthalmology is screening all patients after 40 years wherein random iop refraction funduscopy is done this also picks up cases of glaucoma, all in all, I feel present status of glaucoma management is encouraging.
