Glaucoma - Emergency Department Management
- All patients should get emergency ophthalmologic consultation
- Start with eye drops (see table below) and add systemic medications if severe or refractory symptoms/IOP
- 1st line med: Timolol (beta blocker)
- Topical meds can be given simultaneously except for pilocarpine. Pilocarpine is typically not effective until IOP is < 40 mmHg
