Summary
Glaucoma remains a major leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with disease progression influenced by complex interactions, such as intraocular pressure (IOP), optic nerve head structure, vascular factors, multiple systemic diseases, and long-term treatment tolerability. While lowering IOP remains the only proven strategy to slow disease progression, effective glaucoma care in practice is affected by various factors including accurate IOP measurement, treatment adherence, the management of coexisting ocular diseases, the appropriate selection of surgical options, and postoperative management. In this context, this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, “New Insights into Glaucoma”, brings together ten studies that address these challenges across diagnostics, medical therapy, and surgery, offering pragmatic, clinically relevant evidence to inform and guide everyday decision-making.
