Glaucoma Diagnosis in Asia |
|
The problem of glaucoma in Asia continues to be different from that of other populations that are well described, for instance in Europe and the USA. The problems of glaucoma in Asia are of diagnostic and disease pattern differences. This issue of Asian Journal of Ophthalmology includes an article clearly showing the problems of optic nerve head changes and difficulties in diagnosis of the disease from the perspective of a European neuro-ophthalmologist working in the Asian environment. With increasing differences in the types of glaucoma seen in Asia, the normal tension aspect of the disease is becoming more significant with increasing life expectancies. Paul Chew |
