About the Book

This volume provides a thorough understanding of the basic aspects and clinical types of the glaucomas and offers detailed guidelines on patient management. The book enables clinicians to distinguish among the diverse entities and syndromes that comprise glaucoma and determine the most appropriate course of treatment for the individual patient. Coverage begins with a definition and classification of the glaucomas. The second section discusses anatomical and physiological considerations and describes various examination techniques and diagnostic tests. A major portion of the book examines each of the clinical entities of glaucoma systematically, including definition, epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical findings, diagnostic tests, differential diagnosis, and management. The final section details the indications, techniques, and complications of current therapies, including drugs, laser therapy, and surgical procedures. Each chapter has been reviewed in depth by one or more leading glaucoma specialists to ensure accuracy and currency. More than 150 illustrations complement the text
