Pearls from an IG Surgeon

Introducing a new series: Pearls I've Learned as an IG Surgeon. In this new series, Dr. Paul Singh shares practical insights and clinical pearls from more than 15 years as an interventional #glaucoma surgeon. In the first episode, he challenges the traditional definition of a "controlled" glaucoma patient. A patient with a normal IOP who struggles with medication adherence because of cost, side effects, dry eye, or forgetfulness may not be as controlled as they appear. Watch as Dr. Singh explains the subtle clues he looks for in the exam room and why identifying adherence challenges early can help guide conversations around treatment options such as SLT, sustained drug delivery, MIGS, and MIBS when clinically appropriate. Sometimes the most important finding isn't the pressure, it's the conversation. What signs help you identify patients who may be struggling with adherence?
