  • POST-TEST

    Please answer the following questions. 
  • 1. What patient factors help gauge treatment and target goal pressures?*

  • The correct answer is all of the above. 

  • 2. What is the only modifiable risk factor for glaucoma?*

  • The correct answer is intraocular pressure.

  • 3. Based on the Rotterdam Eye study, having a primary family relative with glaucoma increases your risk by up to …*

  • The correct answer is 9x.

  • 4. Is central corneal thickness (CCT) an independent risk factor for glaucoma?*

  • The correct answer is yes, low CCT effects the accuracy of checking pressure and its relation to ocular hysteresis.

  • 5. Which of the following is not a main target mechanism for treating glaucoma?*

  • The correct answer is increase corneal epithelial penetration.

  • 6. A prostaglandin analogue should lead to an approximate reduction in intraocular pressure by approximately what percent?*

  • The correct answer is 30%. 

  • 7. What testing is most likely to show changes first in progressive glaucoma?*

  • The correct answer is OCT analysis of the optic nerve head.

  • 8. What is the only FDA approved intraocular drug eluting glaucoma treatment?*

  • The correct answer is bimatoprost sustained release.

  • 9. What is an example of a structural assessment of a patient’s glaucoma?*

  • The correct answer is OCT retinal nerve fiber layer thickness.

  • 10.  What is an example of a functional assessment of a patient’s glaucoma?*

  • The correct answer is electrophysiological testing.
