GL-Drop the Drops: Glaucoma Treatment Options for Patients with OSD
Description:
Traditional treatment with eye drops for glaucoma can contribute to ocular surface disease (OSD). It is important that all clinicians treating glaucoma also diagnose and treat ocular surface disease to increase patient comfort and compliance, and prevent worsening OSD. We will review non-drop options such as SLT, intracameral implants and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) and how they fit into the treatment protocol for patients with glaucoma and OSD.

AOA and AFOS: ‘Cut through the noise’ and empower licensed doctors of optometry to provide greater access to care to veterans
Eye care is the third-most requested health service by veterans at the VA—and doctors of optometry provide the majority of that care. Yet, as the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) considers new national standards of practice for more than 50 health professions at its facilities, optometrists are making a winning case for expanding their role at an understaffed VA and are galvanizing against baseless attacks from organized medicine, ophthalmology and a few unbending legislators.
3 coding questions cracked
Does Medicare allow you to bill fundus photos and an optical coherence tomography on the same day for two different diagnoses? The answer to this question, and more, from the AOA’s experts.
Born to serve: Active duty paraoptometric professionals provide critical care
September is Paraoptometric Appreciation Month, celebrating optometric practice staff around the country. Two paraoptometric professionals who provide eye care as active-duty veterans in the United States Armed Forces share their stories.
