Glaucoma and pregnancy is an uncommon combination, but it constitutes a very challenging situation for the treating doctor. The challenge is not only controlling the intraocular pressure and preventing glaucoma progression in the mother, but also having to deal with her mental stress and anxiety regarding the safety of her child. The situation is further worsened by the lack of definite guidelines as to how to deal with such patients. Relative rarity of glaucoma in this population restricts any large prospective randomized clinical trials or any large systematic studies. Moreover, none of the existing anti-glaucoma medications is absolutely safe in pregnancy. Current practice patterns depend on some case reports, a few observational studies and a few animal studies that attempt at determining the safety and efficacy of the available medicines. These are then prescribed on the basis of their relative safety in any particular stage of pregnancy or lactation. Newer medications that were released recently in 2018, such as Vyzulta and Rhopressa, presently have limited data to support their safety for use during pregnancy. Laser trabeculoplasty, conventional filtration surgery (of course without anti-metabolites), and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery represent a few non-pharmacological management options. Surgical procedures such as trabeculectomy and tube-shunts or collagen matrix implants, and newer minimally invasive glaucoma surgery procedures such as the gelatin stents are currently being explored and may prove to be viable solutions for severe glaucoma during pregnancy, although they too have their own inherent drawbacks. Management of glaucoma during pregnancy and lactation requires careful consideration of the disease status, gestational stage, US Food and Drug Administration classification and guidelines, and potential benefits and limitations of the various therapeutic modalities. This review focuses on the importance of a multidisciplinary team approach, starting with preconception planning and counseling, determining the treatment options depending on the stage of glaucoma and of pregnancy, and emphasizes the involvement of the patients, their obstetrician, and pediatrician through active discussion regarding the various medical, laser, or surgical modalities currently available or under exploration for use during pregnancy and lactation. The ultimate aim is to achieve an optimal balance between the risks and benefits of any type of intervention, and to customize treatment on an individual basis in order to achieve the best outcomes for both mother and fetus.
