Glaucoma treatment - TAGS study

Glaucoma is when the optic nerve is damaged, generally by high pressure in the eye, and it's treated by lowering that pressure to minimise any further damage.

This episode looks at research into advanced glaucoma treatment, and a study called TAGS (the Treatment of Advanced Glaucoma Study). It's led by Professor Anthony King, Consultant Ophthalmologist at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and it's investigating whether it's better to treat glaucoma with eyedrops or with surgery.
