Interventional glaucoma is reshaping glaucoma management by prioritizing timely procedural care over traditional methods that focus on monitoring and medication adherence. According to Dr. Blake K. Williamson and Charles H. Williamson Jr. from Williamson Eye Center, this shift enables earlier interventions, empowering both clinicians and patients.

The goal is to redefine success in glaucoma management, aiming to delay disease progression and minimize invasiveness.
