Abstract
Despite advances in our knowledge of the aetiology and pathophysiology of glaucoma, the sole proven, effective intervention for treating primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) remains lowering of intraocular pressure (IOP) to prevent further progression and visual loss. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the treatment choices available to newly diagnosed POAG and OHT patients. We review the existing literature on treatments currently available to newly diagnosed POAG and OHT patients and discuss their role in the treatment paradigm of POAG and OHT. We consider different factors that may be important when offering a choice of treatment to newly diagnosed POAG and OHT patients as well as describing new glaucoma treatments in development and future directions for treatment.
