Current cost-effective work-up of the glaucoma suspect
Abstract
Given the limited resources for medical care, ophthalmologists are increasingly being called on to provide care in a cost-effective manner without compromising quality. This review provides a framework for the difficult task of working up suspected glaucoma in a cost-effective manner. Several new developments in early detection of glaucoma will also be described.
