Perimetry, tonometry and epidemiology: the fate of glaucoma management

Abstract: . This is the lecture that I gave when I was awarded Acta Ophthalmologica’s gold medal and honorary award at the Nordic Ophthalmological Congress in Reykjavik in August 2010. I was inspired by Jared Diamond’s famous book: Guns, Germs, and Steel, The Fates of Human Societies. Diamond is professor of geography and physiology at the University of California, Los Angeles.

“…провели иссле-дование в Шведском городе Сковдэ и установили, что в их регионе офтальмогипертензия -вполне обычное явление [1]. Это наблюдение подтверждалось впослед-ствии неоднократно, о чем свидетельствует недавний обзор Heijl всех опубликованных по этому поводу ста-тей (табл.1) [2]. Первое классическое эпидемиологиче-ское исследование с целью выяснения роли ВГД в раз-витии глаукомы было проведено в Уэльсе.…”
