John Thygesen talks with EuroTimes about current trends in the diagnosis and
treatment of glaucoma as seen from a global perspective.

A simple formula can help predict the apparent but not real effect of LASIK on IOP.

A new FDA-approved device provides simultaneous measurements of corneal thickness and IOP

Dynamic contour tonometry can provide accurate measurements of IOP independent of corneal thickness.
