Cases and Conversations in Glaucoma Care – Effectively Lowering IOP with Rho Kinase Inhibition

Release Date: August 31, 2021
Expiration Date: August 31, 2022

Activity Overview

This Cases and Conversations™ is a video-based program in which two experts use a case-based approach to discuss the role of rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitors in targeting the conventional outflow pathway in the treatment of glaucoma. In this activity, the faculty focus on several mechanisms of action (MOAs) that inhibition of rho kinases provide to lower IOP as well as supporting evidence for available agents. This engaging format is designed to help clinicians incorporate newer glaucoma treatments into practice to improve outcomes for their patients with glaucoma.
