Preface
The Glaucoma Module of the ESASO can be defined as a group of interactive lectures spanning extensively into the various topics of glaucoma diagnosis and care. This book contains the written form of the Module, with the advantage of being always accessible and the disadvantage of not allowing direct interaction with the experts. The practical clinical approach, however, is suitably transferred from the lectures, leaving the reader with additional bits of knowledge that can be used to manage real patients during their real professional activity.
All authors are to be commended for committing to this exercise, which was demanding both in time and in energy. I believe that the ambitious goal of being concise and focused has been achieved here, thanks also to the scientific coordinators Fotis Topouzis and Ingeborg Stalmans. I trust this book will provide fruitful reading and an up-to-date review on glaucoma. The commitment and support of the ESASO Board for this project is also gratefully acknowledged.
