Overview

Presents the methodology and data from a project aimed at assessing the cost-effectiveness of new products for the treatment of glaucoma. The clinical and observational data are merged into a formal Markov model describing the treatment patterns for glaucoma in different scenarios. Results and data from nine countries are available, together with commentaries and findings in the study. Intended for the practising ophthalmologist, the book should also improve the understanding of health-care providers on the value of preventing glaucoma and, in the long term, potential blindness.
