Information about several papers discussed at the East Coast Optometric Glaucoma Symposium on the new advancements in diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma is presented. Topics include the new developments in diagnosis of glaucoma and new ideas for management of glaucoma patients. The symposium featured several optometrists including John Flanagan, Tony Realini, and Richard J. Madonna.

Information about several papers discussed during the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting on optometry is presented. The meeting highlights several research findings on compliance, nutritional benefits, surgical achievements, and the impact of gene variants on the potential development of glaucoma. Specifically, the event regards the studies on gene mapping, the connection of blood flow to the glaucomatous process and the rates of surgical success.

Information about several papers discussed at a symposium on the management of glaucoma at the 2006 American Academy of Ophthalmology joint meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada is presented. It is designed to guide ophthalmologists in the management of glaucoma especially on the evaluation of disease progression and treatment with medical therapy to improve patient care. It tackled the importance of early detection of the disease and the exact use of laser and surgical options for disease management.

Information about the papers discussed at the 2006 American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) conference is presented. It is stated that the ophthalmology community is examining various ways regarding the right technology to be used to assess glaucoma care including scanning laser polarimetry (GDx), scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (HRT) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). It highlights the results of the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS) discussed during the meeting. INSET: Follow-up on 2006 Roundtable.

Information about several papers discussed at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) meeting in 2013 is presented. Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2) results showed that participants treated with the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin without beta-carotene had their risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) reduced at about 18%. Automated standardization in evaluating corneal superficial punctuate keratitis (SPK) is shown not to be invariably applicable.

Information about several papers discussed at the 2010 annual meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) in May 13, 2010 in Miami, Florida is presented. Topics include research in the areas of retinal disease, dry eye, ocular infection, ocular inflammation, glaucoma and allergy. The meeting was attended by broad spectrum of ophthalmology professionals to present their researches related to the topics mentioned.

Information about several papers discussed at the Fifth Annual meeting of the Optometric Glaucoma Society on issues and developments related to angle-closure glaucoma (ACG) is presented. Dr. Harry Quigley's many contributions in ophthalmology were honored and speakers discussed the model and proper approach on glaucoma. The meeting featured several ophthalmologists, including Balwantray Chauhan, Ronald Harwerth and William Hare.
