Glaucoma Specialty Club: A start


This glaucoma blog (or "glog", as I shall henceforth call it) has been made for those ophthalmologists who have interest in glaucoma. 

We can discuss about stuff which appeals us. Be it basic sciences, diagnostic methods or management strategies

This brings us to the question of who I am? I am an ophthalmologist with almost 20 years of experience working in many hospitals across Asia. My interest in glaucoma has led me to re-visit old theories and explore new areas of research. What specially stimulates me are the "biochemical mechanisms of glaucoma causation" and "newer methods to treat glaucoma".

On this glog I shall try to share my experiences and hope to interact with you all regularly.

Keep in touch,
