Expert Illustrations & Commentaries™: Visualizing the Role of Nitric Oxide in Glaucoma
Release Date: August 31, 2021
Expiration Date: August 31, 2022
Activity Overview
This Expert Illustrations and Commentaries™ is a video-based program in which 2 experts share their insights and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma. In this activity, faculty members focus on the pathophysiology of glaucoma and the emerging benefits of using nitric oxide (NO) to target the conventional outflow pathway. Their discussion is enriched with the use of video animations to illustrate the pathophysiology of glaucoma and the mechanisms of action for nitric oxide–donating agents. The use of these animated segments helps to make somewhat complicated subject matter more easily understood. This unique format is designed to help clinicians assimilate newer treatments into practice by gaining a better understanding of how they address the underlying pathophysiology.
