Abstract

The authors analysed the diagnostic process and the therapy of primary glaucoma and set up a scheme of the different steps and essential components of the procedure. This scheme is to serve as a guide to action, in particular for the less experienced physician. It will also be of value in post-graduate training.

Die Verfasser haben den diagnostischen Prozeß und die Therapie des Glaukoms analysiert und ein Schema der einzelnen Schritte und wesentlichen Komponenten der Vorgehensweise erstellt. Dieses Schema soll insbesondere dem weniger erfahrenen Arzt eine Handlungsanweisung sein. Auch bei der Fort- und Weiterbildung ist es von Wert.
