Medical and Surgical Advances in a Changing Landscape 
COPE #103687-GL
Event #132615
Expiration Date: 3/12/2029

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course provides a practical approach to evaluating optic nerves that don’t follow classic glaucoma patterns. Using real-world cases, participants will learn how to interpret OCT and visual fields in challenging eyes, recognize common mimickers, and identify red flags that require closer monitoring or referral.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
 
• Differentiate glaucomatous optic neuropathy from common mimickers
• Interpret OCT and visual fields in anatomically atypical eyes
• Design safe and efficient follow-up plans
• Identify neuro-ophthalmic red flags and outline appropriate workup pathways

This presentation was recorded at the Glaucoma Symposium in February 2026. The conference received unrestricted educational grant support from Alcon.

Howard Barnebey, MD

Howard Barnebey, MD, brought his expertise to the northwest over two decades ago and has been expanding his commitment to the protection and preservation of the precious gift of sight. Treating thousands of glaucoma and cataract patients each year, he never forgets the importance of treating each patient with complete individual focus.

Dr. Barnebey is one of only a few ophthalmologists in the northwest who is a cataract surgeon trained in the subspecialty of interventional ophthalmology. Like interventional cardiologists who are trained to use catheter technology to open clogged arteries with angioplasty and stents in the heart, interventional ophthalmologists are eye doctors trained in performing canaloplasty using similar micro-catheter technology to open and stent the natural filtration canal in the eye (Schlemm’s Canal)

Dr. Barnebey has been a leading contributor to ophthalmology since the early 1980’s, publishing articles in major medical journals. Throughout the years, he has remained consistent in his mission to educate and advance medical innovation and expand biomedical eye research, implementing the finest care possible to improve the quality of life in his patients.
