Abstract

This review describes some of the most recent advances in the development and application of new technologies for detecting and managing glaucoma, including imaging, visual function testing, and tonometry. The widespread availability of mobile technology in the developing world is improving health care delivery, for example, with smartphones and mobile applications that allow patient data to be assessed remotely by health care providers.

Keywords: glaucoma; optical coherence tomography; perimetry; screening; teleglaucoma; tonometry.
