Sommario/riassunto

Preface    This is the fourth glaucoma consensus held under the auspices of the AIGS, now renamed as the World Glaucoma Association (WGA). We anticipate that the discussion and conclusions from this consensus will have broad impact, as the relationship between IOP and the disease is fundamental to the care of glaucoma patients worldwide. As with the previous consensus meetings on Glaucoma Diagnosis, Open-Angle Glaucoma Surgery and Angle-Closure Glaucoma, this consensus report was developed over several months in an interactive internet system.
