Summary
Glaucoma patients value treatment outcomes, showing a willingness to trade-off between different aspects of care. This review highlights the importance of patient preferences in glaucoma management strategies.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Health Economics
- Patient-Reported Outcomes
Background:
- Glaucoma necessitates long-term medical and/or surgical interventions.
- Preference studies assess patient valuation of glaucoma management aspects.
- A systematic review is needed to consolidate existing preference studies.
Conclusions:
- Patients with glaucoma express distinct preferences and trade-offs in management.
- Outcome attributes significantly influence patient decisions in glaucoma care.
- This review provides critical insights into patient-centered glaucoma management.

01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
511
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.

01:25Glaucoma: Overview
665
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
598
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
