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.
Glaucoma is a condition of the eye in which the optic nerve is

to the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. Beginning with an
overview of the condition and its symptoms, the following chapters
cover diagnostic and treatment methods for different causes and
types of glaucoma. The text concludes with discussion on surgical
management of glaucoma, through both filtration and lasers, and
minimally invasive procedures. A complete chapter is dedicated to
childhood glaucoma. Edited by internationally recognised
specialists from around the world, the book is highly illustrated
with clinical images, diagrams and tables. Key concepts are
explained with the help of clinical cases. Key points Comprehensive

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. Presented as a
collection of clinical case studies, this book is a complete guide
to the treatment of glaucoma for both ophthalmologists and
trainees. Beginning with an introduction to ocular hypertension,
investigation techniques and the diagnosis of glaucoma, the
following chapters describe different treatment methods. Potential
surgical complications are discussed in detail to help clinicians
determine the most appropriate management options. The final
section covers clinical trials in glaucoma. Clinical photographs,
flow charts and algorithms for patient management enhance learning.

the optic nerve head, and the pathophysiology and classification of
glaucoma, subsequent chapters cover methods of diagnosis such as
Gonioscopy and OCT, variations of glaucoma such as pigmentary
glaucoma and malignant glaucoma, and congenital and developmental
glaucoma in children. Manual of Glaucoma also includes a separate
chapter on complementary and alternative therapies, as well as new
surgical modalities, wound healing techniques and postoperative
