In a sensible and well-balanced way this small book deals with aspects of the treatment of glaucoma and is valuable to anyone, not least the practising ophthalmologists, who are concerned with the treatment of this often difficult group of patients.

This is volume 12 in the Documenta Ophthalmologica Proceedings Series. The reported symposium on medical therapy in glaucoma took place in Amsterdam

in 1976. The symposium dealt with cholinergic drugs, including ocusert-pilocarpine, and adrenergic drugs and their effect in the treatment of glaucoma, with special mention of the P-adrenoreceptor blockings drugs. The final chapter of the book deals with the clinical aspects of the medical treatment of glaucoma. P. Graham (Cardiff) discusses the very important criteria for initiation of treatment in patients with sus- pected glaucoma. E. L.
