Glaucoma is a condition of the eye in which the optic nerve is damaged due to increased fluid pressure in the eye. Left untreated, the condition may lead to permanent blindness.
Presented as a collection of clinical case studies, this book is a complete guide to the treatment of glaucoma for both ophthalmologists and trainees.
Beginning with an introduction to ocular hypertension, investigation techniques and the diagnosis of glaucoma, the following chapters describe different treatment methods. Potential surgical complications are discussed in detail to help clinicians determine the most appropriate management options. The final section covers clinical trials in glaucoma.
Clinical photographs, flow charts and algorithms for patient management enhance learning.
