This first volume of the series Essentials in Ophthalmology aims to give a picture of recent progress in the field of glaucoma, in both basic clinical research and applied clinical science. Its intention is not to replace textbooks on glaucoma, but to serve as a conceptual bridge between original research and textbook presentation. The volume encompasses (a) genetic aspects of different forms of glaucoma, such as normal tension glaucoma, pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, childhood glaucoma, and angle closure glaucoma, (b) methods of diagnosis, such as imaging techniques, visual fields, electrophysiology, and ultrasound biomicroscopy, and (c) aspects of therapy, such as the target pressure concept, wound modulation in glaucoma surgery, neuroprotection, treatment of normal tension glaucoma, and the evaluation of nonpenetrating surgery. The editors have set out to provide the reader with a diversity of interesting topics reflective of the evidence-based, modern approach to the field of glaucoma.

From the reviews: "The Essentials in Ophthalmology series attempts to bridge the time gap between journal publications and up-to-date textbook distillation of medical knowledge. ... The editors of this series have cleverly packaged information in a format that will keep clinicians on the forefront of thoughts in the different disciplines of ophthalmology. ... Readers will be relieved and undoubtedly satisfied with this concise text that provides clinically useful updates in important areas of glaucoma diagnosis and management." (L. J.
