Survey Says: Reducing Medication Burden for an Unhappy Patient

On this episode of Survey Says, a special edition of GT: The Podcast, I. Paul Singh, MD, is joined by guests Emily Schehlein, MD, and H. George Tanaka, MD, to review a real case from his practice involving a patient with glaucoma with a history of SLT and MIGS. Though the patient’s IOP is at target, she is very unhappy with topical medication. The group discusses the importance of quality of life and weighs possible next steps, including drug delivery, repeat SLT, surgical intervention, or continuing as is. Later, the guests find out what Dr. Singh did, and they compare their opinions with the results of a social media poll of GT’s audience.
