From the WGA Executive Office

Professor Robert D. Fechtner, Executive Vice President

Dear readers,

As with every issue, I am proud that once again, we are able to present expert glaucoma commentary and news from all ends in our global Glaucoma community.

IGR is delivered directly to all affiliates of our Glaucoma Society Members and Industry Members as a benefit of participation in the World Glaucoma Association. In total, the WGA database is comprised of over 12.000 individuals.

 One of our educational pillars is the World Glaucoma Congress. The next Congress is scheduled June 28 – July 1, 2017 in Helsinki. Registration opens on October 10 and the full program will be available via our website. I wish to acknowledge the tremendous contribution of the scientific program under the guidance of Jonathan Crowston (chair) and the Program Planning Committee members. Do not miss this opportunity to visit the beautiful city of Helsinki!

 Register on October 10, 2016 at www.worldglaucomacongress.com.

Via email you might receive an invitation to participate in an online survey with regards to a needs assessment for glaucoma education by the WGA Education Committee. We kindly ask you to complete the survey, so we are able to focus our education activities on the needs identified by the glaucoma community. If you did not receive the survey and would like to participate, please contact the WGA Executive Office and they will be happy to supply you with the information (info@worldglaucoma.org).

I hope you will enjoy this issue of IGR and would like to thank all contributors as well as our advertisers.
