Unmet needs and research priorities in glaucoma

Résumé fourni par la source

Despite advancements in diagnostics and treatment, glaucoma remains a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with significant unmet research needs. This review explores key research priorities identified by clinicians and patients to optimize research resource allocation within the ophthalmic community. The European Glaucoma Society (EGS) and the collaborative efforts of the American Glaucoma Society and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) have highlighted critical areas of investigation in the field of glaucoma. These include improving screening methods, developing early detection biomarkers, advancing innovative treatments, and enhancing patient adherence. Additionally, rehabilitation, education, and awareness are essential for improving patient quality of life. Aligning research with patient and clinician needs ensures impactful advancements in glaucoma care, guiding future research and funding toward effective, patient-centered solutions.
