When I am performing tests to determine a patient’s glaucoma status — visual fields, retinal nerve fiber layer measurements on OCT, fundus photography, etc — I will also examine their ocular surface and do meibomian gland imaging.

Talking about the importance of a healthy ocular surface is part of my routine education for glaucoma patients.

I think of my clinic as a triad, encompassing three conditions: dry eye disease, glaucoma and cataract.
