  1. Glaucoma Treatment for Diabetic Patients Glaucoma is a serious eye condition involving increased intraocular pressure (IOP) that damages the optic nerve, often leading to irreversible vision loss. Diabetic patients face a significantly higher risk—nearly double—of developing glaucoma, particularly open-angle glaucoma, and are prone to neovascular glaucoma due to proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Early detection is crucial, as symptoms like peripheral vision loss or blind spots may appear late. Diabetic patients require annual comprehensive eye exams, including tonometry (IOP measurement), gonioscopy, visual field testing, pachymetry, and OCT for optic nerve assessment. Treatment Goals: The primary goal is lowering IOP to prevent optic nerve damage, combined with strict blood sugar control to reduce complications. Treatment Options: Medications First-line: Prescription eye drops (prostaglandins, beta-blockers, alpha-agonists, or carbonic anhydrase inhibitors) to reduce IOP. Oral medications may be added if needed. Caution with beta-blockers in diabetics due to potential masking of hypoglycemia symptoms. Laser Therapy: Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) or other procedures to improve fluid drainage, often effective in open-angle cases. Surgery (Indicated if medications/laser fail): Trabeculectomy, Glaucoma Valve implantation, or Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS). For neovascular
