Registration is now underway for Eyes On Glaucoma 2025, Eyes On Eyecare’s largest virtual glaucoma-focused event of the year.
How exciting! Let’s start with the basics.
To start: This one-day-only event is open to optometrists, ophthalmologists, and support staff.
A brief overview: The agenda includes content specifically crafted to educate attendees on the latest innovations in the industry, such as technology, medications, surgery, and artificial intelligence (AI)—all geared toward catering to the needs of glaucoma patients.
- For a refresh: Last year’s glaucoma event drew over 2.4K eyecare professionals (ECPs)
Sounds intriguing … so when is it?
- Mark your calendars: Saturday, June 14, 2025
- The times: 7:30 am PT / 10:30 am ET — 2:55 pm PT / 5:55 pm ET
Will CE credits be offered?
But of course! Attendees will have the chance to earn up to 4.5 hours of free COPE-accredited continuing education (CE) at six clinical sessions covering the latest advancements in glaucoma care.
Topics included in these sessions:
- Surgical options, selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), and the interventional mindset
- Strategies for managing patients with glaucoma and dry eye
- Current treatments: minimally-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS); SLT; drug delivery; O-PAP
- Key diagnostic technologies: optical coherence tomography (OCT) and virtual reality (VR) tools
And what type of education sessions?
Check out a sneak peek:

- Focus: Explore options from a topical medication standpoint to surgical, drug delivery, and device treatments, and how factors like nocturnal IOP changes and blood pressure should be considered
- Diagnostic Dilemmas
- Focus: Understand how advanced technology can help monitor and diagnose glaucoma when standard methods are unreliable, as well as the role artificial intelligence (AI) can play—plus case examples of OCT and visual fields
- Controversies and Hot Topics in Glaucoma
- Focus: Identify how advanced technology and genetics each play a role in managing glaucoma patients—and learn about new technologies for measuring IOP and questioning traditional methods
