Summary

Exploring the controversies surrounding many of the approaches to glaucoma diagnosis and management, Glaucoma Therapy: Current Issues and Controversies covers the causes and pathogenesis of glaucoma. The editors and their team of contributors, all expert investigators into the causes and treatment of glaucoma, offer cutting-edge, evidence-based information based on their work. While emphasizing non-surgical management, the book also includes coverage of surgical and laser management. Experts from Asia, Africa, North America, and Europe provide a global outlook and elucidate the latest developments in the pharmacological and surgical treatments of glaucoma.
