Editor's Comment

Our six experts, geographically diverse, all glaucoma fellowship trained, provide mostly uniform recommendations in the management of this patient. None favored non-surgical observation with continued medical therapy despite the fact the patient had only mild loss of RNFL and a generally full visual field. Each of the expert surgeons recognized the importance of avoiding hypotony and the increased risk inherent to transscleral surgery in this patient with axial myopia. Accordingly, none of the experts recommended transscleral surgery, or even supraciliary surgery as the next step.
