Glaucoma Clinical Challenge Page

Clinical challenge

When cataract and glaucoma coexist, patients often seek care for cloudy vision from cataracts, while gradual vision loss from glaucoma may go unnoticed until advanced stages. Approximately 20% of cataract patients also have glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Clinical solution

To determine if glaucoma affects a patient's vision improvement expectations and long-term vision related quality of life, it's essential to identify the glaucoma type, disease stage, and establish appropriate treatment plan.
ZEISS solution

ZEISS Glaucoma Workflow provides end-to-end solution for diagnosing monitoring, and treating glaucoma, including laser therapy and surgical options. The linked ZEISS Cataract Workflow improves outcomes for patients with both conditions.

“…and you can imagine the patients surprise, shock, disappointment and sadness when they have their cataract surgery and realize, 

they don't regain as much vision as they want,
the vision they've lost is irreversible, and
they may have not had the most appropriate lens in their eye for their whole situation taken together.”
