ABOUT THE CHART
WHAT IS THE GLAUCOMEDICS CHART?
All the glaucoma medications be it eye drops, tablets or capsules are represented in a single infographic.
The chart was developed as a quick reference to print out and hang on the wall where decisions about treatment are made or handled. Find the chart relevant to you in the DOWNLOAD section.
WHY USE THIS CHART?
An increasing number of different glaucoma medications are becoming available. However, keeping track of the many brand and generic names, combinations, different formulations, some preserved, some nonpreserved can be confusing for many people.
In my experience, many patients can't remember their past or even present medication, because often pharmacies are obliged to substitute to the cheapest generic drop when available.
The chart offers an overview of the available glaucoma medication for a specific country.
Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, patients, relatives, and other caregivers could all benefit from having an updated and comprehensive list at hand.
