About this title

Review

From the reviews:

"This hardback book is part of an eight-volume subspecialty series called Essentials in Ophthalmology. ... The intention is to expedite the transfer of new information into a textbook form, and hence clinical practice. ... This text has 11 chapters, generally quite easy reading, with a logical layout. ... Each chapter is written by world experts on the particular topic, and is well referenced. ... Overall, I found this an extremely valuable read ... ." (Joanna Koppens, Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 36, 2008)

Synopsis

This second "Glaucoma" volume of the "Essentials in Ophthalmology" series, as in the first, aims to provide a picture of recent progress in the field of glaucoma, in both basic clinical research and applied clinical science. Its intention is not to replace textbooks on glaucoma, but to serve as a conceptual bridge between original research and textbook presentation. The volume encompasses: frequently unmentioned aspects of therapy including adherence, persistence and health economics; an update on electrophysiology and its relevance to glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring; aspects of glaucoma management, such as risk calculation and tube shunt procedures; new aqueous outflow concepts; and, a look into the future of glaucoma medical therapy. The editors have set out to provide the reader with diverse and interesting topics reflective of the evidence-based, modern approach to the field of glaucoma.
