Real World IOP Monitoring
Real World IOP Monitoring
IOP is the only modifiable risk factors for development or progression of glaucoma. It has been shown to be affected by various factors and to fluctuate within a day or over several days or months. In our real-world practice, IOP readings are typically obtained with the patients seated during the office hours every 3 to 6 months. Therefore, the thus obtained IOP readings are a snapshot of their fluctuating IOPs, and may not reflect their actual peak and average IOPs. In this presentation, Dr Yoo...IOP is the only modifiable risk factors for development or progression of glaucoma.

In this presentation, Dr Yoo will talk about how to monitor real world IOPs directly or indirectly and share some of my cases.view more18:20 - 18:35
The Value of 24-hr Home Self-tonometry in Diagnosis and Management of Glaucoma
The Value of 24-hr Home Self-tonometry in Diagnosis and Management of Glaucoma
Modern home tonometry can provide intraocular pressure measurement results with accuracy, similar to that of Goldmann applanation. Over multiple measurements a patients diurnal pattern or pressure variation can be derived. Multiple measurements also allow the clinician to see true effects of treatment without confounding problems of measurement inaccuracy and regression towards the mean. This also gives patients a greater insight into their disease. Representation of data and graphical display i...Modern home tonometry can provide intraocular pressure measurement results with accuracy, similar to that of Goldmann applanation.

Multiple measurements also allow the clinician to see true effects of treatment without confounding problems of measurement inaccuracy and regression towards the mean. This also gives patients a greater insight into their disease. Representation of data and graphical display is of great importance as this can give the clinician a rapid understanding of pressure responses in the busy Clinic environment.view more18:35 - 18:50
Significance of IOP Peaks and Fluctuations, in Diagnosis and Management of Glaucoma
Significance of IOP Peaks and Fluctuations, in Diagnosis and Management of Glaucoma
IOP is a dynamic parameter showing evidence of glaucoma progression due to IOP peaks and fluctuations (unmasked with 24-hour IOP monitoring). As clinicians, we must define an acceptable range for IOP fluctuations along with the target IOP for an individual. During the prescription of antiglaucoma medications, the aim should be to provide a 24-hour cover with reduced IOP fluctuations. All patients need to be counselled and made aware of activities in their daily routine that can cause IOP fluctua...IOP is a dynamic parameter showing evidence of glaucoma progression due to IOP peaks and fluctuations (unmasked with 24-hour IOP monitoring). As clinicians, we must define an acceptable range for IOP fluctuations along with the target IOP for an individual. During the prescription of antiglaucoma medications, the aim should be to provide a 24-hour cover with reduced IOP fluctuations. All patients need to be counselled and made aware of activities in their daily routine that can cause IOP fluctuations like head down exercise postures, stress or anxiety and intake of antihypertensives at night.view more18:50 - 19:00
