"Glaucoma Identification and Co-management" aims to provide the background knowledge needed by optometrists embarking on co-management/shared-care of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) and to reinforce the knowledge of those already involved in co-management/shared-care practice. While the majority of readers will be registered optometrists, the book will also serve as a valuable reference work for students of optometry. Co-management/shared care schemes require a combination of skills from several disciplines - notably ophthalmology and optometry, and both professions are represented among the contributors. We have contributions from pharmacists too, who also have a key role to play in the management of patients suffering from glaucoma. Epidemiology, gonioscopy, co-management schemes and a pharmacological as well as clinical approach to the medical treatment of glaucoma are covered in this book.
