John Berdahl, MD; Tanner Ferguson, MD; and Mitch Ibach, OD, FAAO, discuss a case of a female patient in her late 70s with a history of cataract surgery and mild glaucoma. She was taking topical medication to manage her glaucoma but experienced conjunctival hyperemia and ocular surface disease from the drops. The three hosts review the potential treatment options for this patient and outline the decision to perform selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) to eliminate medication burden.
