Glaucoma Screening

English | ISBN: 9062992188 | 2008 | 164 pages | PDF | 3 MB
For the World Glaucoma Association Consensus V, our topic was Glaucoma Screening, both for open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma. Global experts were assembled beginning in January 2008 to participate in the Project Forum E-Room, a unique aspect to facilitate discussion of each of the consensus meetings. With each of the prior meetings, arriving at the consensus was circuitous and filled with compromises, and this meeting had a similar path. The consensus process provided an excellent opportunity to critically assess the evidence relating to glaucoma screening and develop consensus statements. As with previous ones, the entire process was stimulating, educational, and thought-provoking for all participants and attendees.

This book examines American screen culture and its power to create and sustain values. Looking specifically at the ways in which nostalgia colors the visions of American life, essays explore contemporary American ideology as it is created and sustained by the screen. Nostalgia is omnipresent, selling a version of America that arguably never existed. Current socio-cultural challenges are played out onscreen and placed within the historical milieu through a nostalgic lens which is tempered by contemporary conservatism. Essays reveal not only the visual catalog of recognizable motifs but also how these are used to temper the uncertainty of contemporary crises. Media covered spans from 1939’s Gone with the Wind, to Stranger Things, The Americans, Twin Peaks, the Fallout franchise and more.
