COGNITIVE:
• The resident should be familiar with the evaluation of a glaucoma patient
in terms of screening for risk factors, initial and long-term work-up, and
available therapeutic interventions—both medical and surgical.
• The resident should be familiar with the various sub-types of glaucoma
and glaucoma suspects including ocular hypertension, normal tension
glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma and chronic and acute angle
closure, and the secondary glaucomas (ex. pigmentary, pseudoexfoliation,
traumatic, steroid induced.
• The concept of acute angle closure as an ocular emergency, as well as
appropriate work-up and management should be familiar.
• The resident should be well-versed in current glaucoma literature and
research.
ASSESSMENT—The attending physician will periodically quiz the resident
during clinical rounds to determine the knowledge base and will intervene
as needed. Resident performance on OKAP testing and mock orals will
also be monitored.
TECHNICAL SKILLS:
• The resident should be familiar with and able to perform and interpret the
various clinical skills necessary for the work-up of glaucoma patients.
These include: tonometry, gonioscopy, slit-lalmp evaluation, direct and
indirect ophthalmoscopy, pachymetry, visual field testing and optic nerve
imaging.
ASSESSMENT—The resident will perform and interpret the above skills on
clinical patients under the direct supervision of the attending physician
during clinical rounds. The interpretation and clinical relevance will be
discussed.
