Glaucoma is a chronic-care problem disguised as a visit problem
A single glaucoma visit is straightforward. The hard part is comparing today's IOP to the last twelve readings, looking at OCT change over eighteen months, and asking whether the patient's medication regimen is actually being followed. Most software shows you the current visit. Glaucoma needs the whole arc.
IOP readings without context
A single number means nothing without the visit-to-visit trend. Most charts make you click through prior visits one at a time.
Visual fields and OCT in separate worlds
Field testing lives with the perimeter; OCT lives with the device. Cross-referencing them at the bedside is manual work.
Medication adherence as a guess
Patients say they're taking drops. Refill data, pharmacy records, and patient-reported use rarely make it into the chart in any usable form.
