Glaucoma and Management in the Pediatric Population

Dear Colleagues,
The book "Glaucoma and Management in the Pediatric Population" represents a dedicated effort to address a critical aspect of glaucoma in the often overlooked and unique context of pediatric patients. 
The impetus behind this book arises from the recognition that pediatric glaucoma requires a nuanced approach, considering the developmental intricacies of the eye, diverse etiologies, and long-term implications of visual function. As clinicians, researchers, and educators in the field of ophthalmology, our collective goal was to provide a comprehensive resource that delves into the intricacies of pediatric glaucoma.
This book is structured to offer a systematic exploration of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment modalities for pediatric glaucoma. From the initial assessment to surgical interventions and long-term follow-up, each chapter was crafted to provide a thorough understanding of the complexities involved in managing glaucoma in the pediatric population.
We extend our gratitude to the contributors for their invaluable contributions, which have enriched this text and made it a reliable reference for seasoned practitioners and those entering the field.
This book serves as a beacon of knowledge, fostering a deeper understanding of pediatric glaucoma, and inspiring ongoing advancements in research and clinical practice. I express my deepest gratitude to my wife, who has been a constant source of strength and inspiration.
