Talk Description

Dr Flora Hui presents on Neuroprotection in Glaucoma, Where Are We Now?
Duration:

Synopsis: Glaucoma affects over 80 million people worldwide and is a leading cause of blindness, yet we have not developed any proven treatments that act beyond lowering intraocular pressure. Neuroprotection has long been a research aim in glaucoma to preserve sight, but are we any closer to reaching our goal? 

Learning Objective
  1. To understand the concept of neuroprotection in glaucoma, the past and current research in the area, and we can look forward to in the future.
