Glaucoma patients only can instill glaucoma eye drops. This results in 1-7% absorption of the medication.

In response, training programmes were designed to increase the frequency of such glances. The programmes have proven effective, doubling the frequency of these glances for up to a period of two years post-training. The programmes take only an hour to administer and are not directly targeted at …
