Glaucoma is a condition of the eye in which the optic nerve is
damaged due to increased fluid pressure in the eye. Left untreated,
the condition may lead to permanent blindness. The disease is
usually picked up during a routine eye test, often before it causes
any noticeable symptoms. Other tests are needed afterwards to
diagnose and monitor the condition. The purpose of glaucoma
screening tests is to detect patients with early stage disease, so
that they can be treated to reduce the risk of visual field loss,
and better manage the condition. This manual is a comprehensive
guide to setting up a community-based glaucoma screening program.
With checklists and detail on equipment, manpower, and required
infrastructure, the text provides insight into encouraging
community participation, support mobilisation, and data recording.
The book also provides a clear plan for action when screening
delivers a positive result, along with continuous monitoring of the
program for efficacy and acceptance.
