Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG) Spectrum Practice Test

In this context, Tmax refers to what?

The highest untreated IOP reading The average untreated IOP reading The last treated IOP reading The baseline IOP after treatment

Correct Answer:

The highest untreated IOP reading

Explanation:

Tmax is the highest untreated IOP reading. It represents the peak intraocular pressure that would be observed if no treatment were given, providing a reference point for how high the pressure could rise without therapy. This helps explain how much lowering treatment achieves—the goal is to bring the patient’s actual IOP down from that untreated peak to a safer range. It’s different from the average untreated IOP, the last treated reading, or the baseline after treatment, which reflect other aspects of measurement rather than the potential untreated maximum.
