  Overview

  In a podcast style discussion, Mike Corvino, PharmD and Cole Swanson, PharmD examine the treatment and management of glaucoma. Many treatment options for glaucoma have been a mainstay for a long time, along with some newer options. Pharmacists and nurses regularly encounter patients with glaucoma. It is important that pharmacists and nurses understand which patients these medications are appropriate for and how to correctly administer them. This session seeks to explore these topics, focusing on how this information can best be incorporated into daily medical practice.
