The focus of this segment is how veterinarians can empower owners in the management of a pet with glaucoma, in an effort to preserve vision, through at home monitoring of intraocular pressure.
Discussion includes:
- Why frequent rechecks of intraocular pressure (IOP) at the veterinarian's office are great, but may not be enough for the individual patient
- When to consider suggesting the option of at home monitoring of IOP to a client
- Setting the client up for at home monitoring of IOP
- Considerations and best practices for at home monitoring of IOP
