This course is designed for clinicians, researchers, and academic professionals committed to advancing the quality and impact of glaucoma research. Led by international experts, the sessions will cover the past, present, and future of glaucoma studies—including epidemiology, clinical and surgical trials, and meta-analyses—with interactive Q&A to encourage audience engagement.
Key topics include the most influential glaucoma trials of the last 20 years, strategies to enhance research rigor, and ways to translate academic findings into clinical practice. Participants will also gain practical insights on designing studies, minimizing bias in surgical trials, and successfully publishing their work—from choosing review topics to converting WGA presentations into peer-reviewed papers. The course concludes with a focus on researcher priorities for the future.
By the end, attendees will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to make contributions to glaucoma research.
