12018 New Horizons Forum
It is our sincere pleasure to welcome you to the 7th Annual Glaucoma 360: New Horizons Forum, hosted by Glaucoma Research Foundation. This important meeting provides a unique opportunity to bring together leaders in medicine, science, industry, venture capital, and the FDA to discuss emerging ideas in glaucoma and encourage collaboration to accelerate their development for clinical use.
Since its establishment in 2012, this annual forum continues to grow and provide the ultimate opportunity to highlight important advances and facilitate networking between these essential groups. As a result, there are now more effective therapies and diagnostic tools in clinical practice today to help doctors manage the disease more effectively.
But, unmet medical needs remain in glaucoma. Glaucoma Research Foundation is resolute in its mission to preserve vision and continue its role as a catalyst in the advancement of research towards new treatments and a cure.
Glaucoma 360 would not be possible without the generous and selfless contributions of so many including: members of our Advisory Board, Program and Steering Committees who have volunteered their time to build an outstanding agenda; our dedicated sponsors who have helped to underwrite this event; our speakers, presenters, and panelists who are ready to share their expertise and unique perspectives; our attendees; the support of our Board of Directors and staff at Glaucoma Research Foundation; and the hard working team at The Palace Hotel. Over the past seven years, the field has grown substantially and we are honored and grateful to all of you, for your ongoing dedication to helping patients. Because of your commitment, we now have more options to care for patients than ever before.
All proceeds from Glaucoma 360 events will support Glaucoma Research Foundation’s sight-saving endeavors such as the Catalyst for a Cure, a unique collaborative approach to uncover new diagnostic and treatment options for glaucoma. Thank you for your wonderful partnership in our mission. Together, we can truly make a difference in the lives of people living with glaucoma.

IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATIONCAUTION: FEDERAL (USA) LAW RESTRICTS THIS DEVICE TO SALE BY OR ON THE ORDER OF A PHYSICIAN. INDICATION: The Micro-Stent is indicated for use in conjunction with cataract surgery for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in adult patients with mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). CONTRAINDICATIONS: Use of the CyPass Micro-Stent is contraindicated in the following circumstances or conditions: (1) in eyes with angle-closure glaucoma; and (2) in eyes with traumatic, malignant, uveitic, or neovascular glaucoma or discernible congenital anomalies of the anterior chamber angle. MRI INFORMATION: The CyPass Micro-Stent is magnetic resonance (MR) Safe: the implant is constructed of polyimide material, a non-conducting, non-metallic, non-magnetic polymer that poses no known hazards in all magnetic resonance imaging environments. WARNINGS: Gonioscopy should be performed prior to surgery to exclude peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS), rubeosis, and other angle abnormalities or conditions that would prohibit adequate visualization of the angle that could lead to improper placement of the stent and pose a hazard. PRECAUTIONS: The surgeon should monitor the patient postoperatively for proper maintenance of intraocular pressure. The safety and effectiveness of the CyPass Micro-Stent has not been established as an alternative to the primary treatment of glaucoma with medications, in patients 21 years or younger, in eyes with signi� cant prior trauma, chronic in� ammation, eyes with an abnormal anterior segment, eyes with chronic in� ammation, eyes with glaucoma associated with vascular disorders, pseudophakic eyes with glaucoma, eyes with uveitic glaucoma, eyes with pseudoexfoliative or pigmentary glaucoma, eyes with other secondary open-angle glaucomas, eyes that have undergone prior incisional glaucoma surgery or cilioablative procedures, eyes with laser trabeculoplasty performed ≤ 3 months prior to the surgical screening visit, eyes with unmedicated IOP less than 21 mmHg or greater than 33 mmHg, eyes with medicated IOP greater than 25 mmHg, in the setting of complicated cataract surgery with iatrogenic injury to the anterior or posterior segment, and when implantation is without concomitant cataract surgery with IOL implantation for visually signi� cant cataract. The safety and effectiveness of use of more than a single CyPass Micro-Stent has not been established. ADVERSE EVENTS: In a randomized, multicenter clinical trial comparing cataract surgery with the CyPass Micro-Stent to cataract surgery alone, the most common postoperative adverse events included: BCVA loss of 10 or more letters at 3 months after surgery (8.8% for the CyPass Micro-Stent vs. 15.3% for cataract surgery only); anterior chamber cell and � are requiring steroid treatment 30 or more days after surgery (8.6% vs. 3.8%); worsening of visual � eld mean deviation by 2.5 or more decibels (6.7% vs. 9.9%); IOP increase of 10 or more mmHg 30 or more days after surgery (4.3% vs. 2.3%); and corneal edema 30 or more days after surgery, or severe in nature (3.5% vs. 1.5%). ATTENTION: PLEASE REFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS, AND ADVERSE EVENTS.

Corneal Endothelium—There is an increased potential for developing corneal edema in patients with low endothelial cell counts.Severe Hepatic or Renal Impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min)—SIMBRINZA® Suspension has not been specifi cally studied in these patients and is not recommended.Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma—The management of patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma requires therapeutic interventions in addition to ocular hypotensive agents. SIMBRINZA® Suspension has not been studied in patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma.Contact Lens Wear—The preservative in SIMBRINZA® Suspension, benzalkonium chloride, may be absorbed by soft contact lenses. Contact lenses should be removed during instillation of SIMBRINZA® Suspension but may be reinserted 15 minutes after instillation.Severe Cardiovascular Disease—Brimonidine tartrate, a component of SIMBRINZA® Suspension, had a less than 5% mean decrease in blood pressure 2 hours after dosing in clinical studies; caution should be exercised in treating patients with severe cardiovascular disease.Potentiation of Vascular Insu� ciency—Brimonidine tartrate, a component of SIMBRINZA® Suspension, may potentiate syndromes associated with vascular insu� ciency. It should be used with caution in patients with depression, cerebral or coronary insu� ciency, Raynaud’s phenomenon, orthostatic hypotension, or thromboangiitis obliterans.Contamination of Topical Ophthalmic Products After Use—There have been reports of bacterial keratitis associated with the use of multiple-dose containers of topical ophthalmic products. These containers have been inadvertently contaminated by patients who, in most cases, had a concurrent corneal disease or a disruption of the ocular epithelial surface.
INDICATIONS AND USAGESIMBRINZA® (brinzolamide/brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic suspension) 1%/0.2% is a fi xed combination indicated in the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Dosage and AdministrationThe recommended dose is one drop of SIMBRINZA® Suspension in the a� ected eye(s) three times daily. Shake well before use. SIMBRINZA® Suspension may be used concomitantly with other topical ophthalmic drug products to lower intraocular pressure. If more than one topical ophthalmic drug is being used, the drugs should be administered at least fi ve (5) minutes apart.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ContraindicationsSIMBRINZA® Suspension is contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to any component of this product and neonates and infants under the age of 2 years.
Warnings and PrecautionsSulfonamide Hypersensitivity Reactions—Brinzolamide is a sulfonamide, and although administered topically, it is absorbed systemically. Sulfonamide attributable adverse reactions may occur. Fatalities have occurred due to severe reactions to sulfonamides. Sensitization may recur when a sulfonamide is readministered irrespective of the route of administration. If signs of serious reactions or hypersensitivity occur, discontinue the use of this preparation.

PREVIEW THE BREAKTHROUGH Tango Reflex™ SLT/LFR/YAG LASER AT GLAUCOMA 360
SLT and ABiC™ work to control IOP by a process of restoration of the natural outflow pathways. This is in contrast to traditional glaucoma surgeries and other MIGS procedures, which attempt to mechanically change or bypass the pathway of aqueous outflow.
SLT stimulates a process of cellular regeneration to create a healthier, more porous TM structure. On average, SLT achieves a 30% reduction in IOP when used as a first-line therapy.
ABiC™ is a new ab-interno MIGS procedure that flushes out the natural outflow channels, without damaging tissue, to achieve an average IOP reduction of 30%*.

Founded in 1978 in San Francisco, Glaucoma Research Foundation was created to encourage innovative research to find better ways to care for people with glaucoma and ultimately find a cure.
Over the past 40 years, Glaucoma Research Foundation has funded pioneering and transformational studies to advance the field of glaucoma. An important funding priority is fostering collaborative research in order to speed the pace of discovery. Landmark projects include the Collaborative Normal Tension Glaucoma Study, the first controlled clinical trial to establish that lowering eye pressure preserves vision, and the establishment of the Catalyst for a Cure (CFC) research consortium.
Established in 2001, our first CFC team focused on neuroprotection and fundamentally changed how the scientific and medical communities view vision loss in glaucoma. Based on this successful model, the second CFC team was recruited and charged with identifying new biomarkers to indicate the earliest signs of glaucoma. The researchers have moved their investigations from the laboratory into the clinic for human studies of the most promising biomarkers they have identified. The impact of this research will be valuable for both patients and doctors as it has the potential to transform how glaucoma is diagnosed and managed in the future.
COMMITMENT TO EDUCATION AND AWARENESSGlaucoma Research Foundation remains a principal source of information and support for doctors, patients and their families. We distribute more than 120,000 issues of our Gleams newsletter three times a year through the mail, by doctors’ offices and by email. Our website, www.glaucoma.org, helps more than 4 million visitors annually with useful and accurate information. Both our website and our educational booklet “Understanding and Living with Glaucoma” continue to be primary resources for patients seeking to learn more about their glaucoma diagnosis, treatment options, and Glaucoma Research Foundation’s research initiatives.
THE CURE IS IN SIGHT CAMPAIGNIn April 2017, The Cure is in Sight — The Campaign for Glaucoma Research Foundation was launched with the goal to raise $15 million by June 2018. This historic fundraising endeavor will reinforce our mission, strengthen our education and support efforts, and make possible great strides in scientific discovery. In 2018, we will close the Campaign and mark the 40th anniversary of the founding of Glaucoma Research Foundation. As we celebrate these important milestones, we incredibly grateful for the outstanding support and dedication of our donors and volunteers. Because of you, the cure is truly in sight.
