World Glaucoma Congress Poster Recognitions and Top-Ten Poster Nominations

 

It should be emphasised that the WGA had purposely chosen scientific posters as the only mode of free, original presentations at the World Glaucoma Congress. Posters are an excellent and important way of providing scientific information. The WGA made an effort to provide high visibility for the posters, by declaring them to be the exclusive medium for free presentations.
The nomination of the Top-ten posters was done during the Poster Walk-through and they were discussed during the Poster Session. The Poster Committee awarded three posters for being outstanding examples of research studies with the World Glaucoma Congress Poster Recognition.
