Résumé
Purpose To conduct a review of glaucoma management in France Method A 15-question survey was sent to ophthalmologists listed in the journal Réalités Ophtalmologiques and the Syndicat National des Ophtalmologues de France. Results 459/471 responses were analyzed. Gonioscopy was performed by 64.7% of respondents with a Goldmann three-mirror lens, by 51.4% with a four-mirror lens, and 8.2% preferred to perform the procedure with anterior segment imaging. The visual field was reported to be interpreted without difficulty by 87.8% of the practitioners, and 54.0% utilize a progression software. Ultrasound biomicroscopy was reported to be interpreted without difficulty by 20.0% of practitioners. In cases of severe ocular hypertonia with flat bleb in early postoperative trabeculectomy, 61.7% chose ocular massage as a first-line treatment, 52.9% chose laser suture lysis, 50.5% utilized needling, and 24.8% employed hypotonizing eyedrops. In case of severe ocular hypertonia with flat bleb in early postoperative deep sclerectomy, 53.2% chose goniopuncture as their first treatment, 34.4% employed needling, 31.8% utilized ocular massage, and 23.3% chose hypotonizing eyedrops. The selective laser trabeculoplasty is used as soon as the diagnosis is made by 37.5%, in association with a mono or dual therapy by 93.2%, after trying different combinations of eyedrops by 45.5%, when the visual field deteriorates despite a normalized intraocular pressure by 46.6%, and in cases of hypertonia after filtering surgery by 19.2%. Concerning management for primary angle-closure glaucoma, 80.8% considered peripheral iridotomy, and 18.7% utilized cataract surgery. Conclusion The diversity of responses concerning glaucoma management should draw attention to the need for standardized practices.
