Target IOP a key issue in glaucoma management, reduction of costs

Establishing, achieving and maintaining target IOP are key points in the management of glaucoma. Target IOP also has a decisive impact on the reduction of direct and indirect glaucoma-related costs, according to one specialist.Target IOP is the IOP that ensures only minimal progression of glaucoma. In the European Glaucoma Society (EGS) guidelines, it is also defined as “the upper limit of the IOP estimated to be compatible with a rate of progression sufficiently slow to maintain vision-related quality of life.”
