On April 7th, 2017, the Guangzhou Glaucoma Forum （GGF）was successfully held in the Zhujiang New Town Branch at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University (ZOC). The GGF was sponsored by Guangdong Ophthalomogist Association and organized by Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University.  

This is the first time that an academic conference was held in the new building.  

Over 300 clinical ophthalmologists and researchers from domestic and worldwide attend the forum. A number of domestic and foreign experts in the field of Ophthalmology and Glaucoma delivered the exciting talks on the latest research progress and future development of Glaucoma regarding its basic research, diagnosis and treatment, for examples, “Precision Treatment of Glaucoma” by Ge Jian, “Laser Treatment on Glaucoma” by Yu Mingbing, “Follow up Strategies on Glaucoma” by Yuan Huiping, “Future of Stem Cell Therapy on Glaucoma” by Zhang Chun, “BEST and Glaucoma” by Liu Xuyang, “Glaucoma with Normal Intraocular Pressure” by Zhuo Yehong, “Update on New Glaucoma Surgeries” by Ike Ahmed, “Lessons from Glaucoma Clinical Trials” by Steven Gedde, “Concerns on High Intraocular Pressure in Cataract Surgeries” by Chen Junyi, “Ultrasound Ciliary Plasty (UCP) using High Intensity Focused Ultrasound in Indian Eyes on Middle to Late Stage Glaucoma Patients” by Nilanjana Deb-Joardar, “Assessing Glaucoma Progression: What Is It That Matters the Most” by Felipe Medeiros, “Information, and Knowledge in Ophthalmology Data y: From Your Patient to the World” by Michael Boland, “Primary Angle Closure Management – A Logical Approach Based on Angle Closure Type and Mechanisms” by Clement Tham, “Clinical application and pearls on Ahmed valve implantation” by Ying Han, “Measurement of Progressive Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thinning in Glaucoma” by Christopher Leung.
