Medical Management of Glaucoma is a comprehensive review of glaucoma, current pharmacological therapies, and treatment guidelines for the disease as put forth by the American Academy of Ophthalmologists (AAO) and European Glaucoma Society (EGS). This book will review glaucoma’s definition, classes, epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenesis (especially discussing intraocular pressure, aqueous humor production, and outflow), diagnosis and assessment tools, and current therapeutic options for patients. Medical Management of Glaucoma will also give ophthalmologists and related healthcare professionals insight into how the patient is affected by their disease by reviewing quality of life issues, adherence, and costs of therapy, which is particularly significant as the management of this chronic disease should be tailored for each patient.

It has been suspected since more than a century that disturbed ocular blood flow (OBF) may play a role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Reduced OBF has been measured in glaucoma patients by numberless centres with different techniques in different tissues of the eye. And reduced OBF has been proven to be of prognostic value. Nevertheless the implementation of this knowledge into clinical practice has been very slow. This practical book will help many ophthalmologists to better understand glaucoma. The reading of this book will not only improve patient care but also give the reader intellectual satisfaction.

In recent decades, the prognosis of congenital glaucoma has completely changed. Nowadays surgical results are very good and enable children with pediatric glaucoma to integrate entirely into society as adults. Based on the author’s cumulative experience of more than 50 years and 860 patients operated on for congenital glaucoma, this well-structured and lavishly illustrated textbook-atlas covers all aspects of congenital and infantile glaucoma. It enables the reader to learn about the: Original method for examining newborns under general anaesthesia in the slit-lamp Signs and symptoms of the disease and the differential diagnosis Role and importance of the echometry value for early diagnosis Gonioscopy results and the three types of congenital glaucomas (pure, refractory and late) Type of surgery to be performed in each case, with the evaluation and case-studies by follow-up long-term results. Written by renowned international experts of the field, this book will become the gold standard in the field of pediatric and congenital glaucomas.
