• Sommario/riassunto: To the best of our knowledge, the 1st Global AIGS Consensus Meeting on ""Structure and Function in the Management of Glaucoma"" was also the first global consensus meeting in ophthalmology. The goal was to reach an evidence-based consensus for both clinical practice and research through the use of information obtained from peer-reviewed literature describing functional and structural diagnostic testing in glaucoma. The faculty and review group consisted of leading global authorities on glaucoma diagnostic testing. The preparation for the Consensus was unique in its format (see page xii). Repor
