Without controversy there is stagnation. Controversy arises in glaucoma research when reputable investigators claiming to conduct similar studies obtain different results and arrive at different conclusions. The editors and their team of contributors, all expert investigators into the causes and treatment of glaucoma, offer the reader cutting edge evidence-based facts arising from their work. Each of the twenty three chapters will keep the reader aware of all the latest developments in the pharmacological and surgical treatments of glaucoma.
Shaarawy and Flammer and their team of contributors offer the reader cutting edge facts arising from their work. Each of the 23 chapters keeps the reader aware of the developments in the treatments for glaucoma.
