| Summary: | The latest original research by highly reputed experts of the International Glaucoma Society of the International Congress of Ophthalmology are presented in this volume. The contributions cover all aspects of the disease. The basic mechanisms of morphology, electrophysiology and changes in the aqueous humor dynamics are investigated. Neurobiology, biomorphometry and long-term changes of the optic nerve head in glaucoma are highlighted. Special emphasis is placed on the relationship of morphological and functional changes in the early phase of the disease. Psychophysical tests covering sensitivity, specificity and reliability indices are examined. The effectiveness of the various therapy modalities - medical, laser and surgical - is compared. New antiglaucomatous medications as well as new surgical procedures are introduced. |
