The treatment of glaucoma during pregnancy and lactation requires physicians’ careful consideration of the stage of pregnancy, the therapeutic agent(s) to be administered, and the status of the disease. When treating glaucoma during the patient’s pregnancy and lactation, the potential benefits of therapy and the visual goals of the mother must be weighed against the risks of treatment to the fetus or infant, which are often poorly defined. Each class of glaucoma medication has its own set of potential side effects that may be problematic at various stages of pregnancy and lactation, making therapeutic decisions difficult.
