Get ready for the next WGA Global Webinar: April 10,
Medical treatment of glaucoma - now and next
After three inspiring sessions that brought together thousands of viewers across the globe, we are excited to invite you to join the next free, highly educational discussion, taking place on April 10, 2021.
The WGA Film Festival aims to put storytelling power in the hands of glaucoma experts and seeks to showcase the role of individuals and communities as champions for glaucoma prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
The film festival highlight from WGC-2019 of March is: Optic reconstructive surgery in treatment of acute angle closure.
Patients with acute angle closure often have paralytic mydriasis accompanied by neurotrophic changes of iris stroma. The decreased function of the iris diaphragm function leads to visual aberrations that compromise the vision related quality of life. In this video the authors describe a technique for reconstruction of the iris and mechanical opening of the anterior chamber angle.

What is glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that cause progressive damage of the optic nerve at the point where it leaves the eye to carry visual information to the brain.
Once incurred, visual damage is mostly irreversible, and this has led to glaucoma being described as the “silent blinding disease” or the “sneak thief of sight”.
