Welcome to the Iowa Glaucoma Curriculum
This is a teaching site for residents and others interested in learning about glaucoma.
It breaks glaucoma into fifty bite-sized lectures that average 14 minutes in length (range 4 to 37 minutes).
In total the curriculum is just under 12 hours long.
It is highly visual with >900 images and >90 movie clips.
Taking care of glaucoma can be very hard, but I am hoping that I have made learning about this family of diseases somewhat easier....
