What's one change to your primary open-angle glaucoma screening protocol that measurably improved early detection during routine exams this past year? Why did that specific tweak make a difference in your patient population?

The integration of advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology into routine glaucoma screenings significantly improves early detection of open-angle glaucoma. OCT provides high-resolution imaging of the optic nerve and retinal layers, allowing practitioners to identify early signs of glaucoma that may be overlooked with traditional methods. This enhanced capability leads to earlier and more accurate diagnoses, positively impacting patient care.
