Activity Outline

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

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?
