We meet the man behind much of the evidence base for the surgical management of glaucoma, Prof. Keith Barton. Recorded in Belfast this summer, John & Dermot find out why trabeculectomy is still the gold standard in dropping intraocular pressure in advanced glaucoma to a level that's sufficient to halt progressive visual field loss - and why proper surgical training is so important.
Along the way Prof Barton shares his incredible career path - from Belfast to Moorfields, Miami and back, and the story behind a lovely tribute from Elton John - as well as
what Ophthalmologists and Optometrists alike can learn from his groundbreaking studies.
