AHRQ Review Finds Glaucoma Treatments Can Lower Eye Pressure
Glaucoma treatments can lower eye pressure, and a common surgery for this condition offers better outcomes than other approaches, according to two new research reviews from AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program. Treatment for Glaucoma: Comparative Effectiveness shows that glaucoma treatments, including medication, laser treatment, and surgery, can lower eye pressure. Trabeculectomy, a common surgery, appears to be superior to other approaches, such as laser trabeculoplasty and medications to decrease eye pressure. Screening for Glaucoma: Comparative Effectiveness summarizes evidence linking glaucoma screening to health outcomes. It found insufficient evidence to address whether glaucoma screening is effective in improving vision-related outcomes and concluded that more research is needed to address the association between screening and quality of life outcomes. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, affecting over 60 million people worldwide. Open-angle glaucoma, the most common subtype of the disease, affects over 2.5 million people in the United States.
