Ocular futility addresses situations in which the risks of treatment vastly outweigh the benefits of treatment. End-stage ocular conditions include severe trauma, advanced age-related macular degeneration, end-stage glaucoma, and other disease processes where intervention offers limited potential benefit. Determining when intervention is futile is difficult. Therefore, critical ethical principles, including beneficence, nonmaleficence, and autonomy, must always be considered. This activity reviews the determination of ocular futility and highlights the role of the healthcare team in managing patients with end-stage ocular conditions.
