The Science of Glaucoma Management

From Translational Research to Next-Generation Clinical Practice

About this book

The Science of Glaucoma Management: From Translational Research to Next-Generation Clinical Practice bridges the gap between laboratory research and clinicians by bringing the latest promising research directly from researchers to clinicians long before they translate into clinical advances, and often before they are presented at conferences. Organized as a series of clinically relevant topics written by world-leading experts, this book summarizes the current state of laboratory and translational research and draws on the potential implications for day-to-day clinical practice. It offers new insights and mind-opening statements through contributions from some of the most respected glaucoma research groups. The book allows glaucoma specialists to explore novel ways to refine and rethink their practice based on the latest discoveries in basic sciences and breakthrough technologies, and to gain a better understanding on how their specialty is evolving and how research may shape tomorrow's practice. - Presents a detailed report on the latest translational research and breakthroughs that may transform glaucoma practice - Overviews the specialty from a scientific and clinical point-of-view - Written by world-renowned clinicians and researchers in the field of glaucoma - Includes insights, opinions and recommendations from some of the most prominent scientists and ophthalmologists - Covers hot topics and the latest technologies in glaucoma, such as minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, telemedicine, gene therapy, neuroprotection and artificial intelligence
