Published in 2002 by the American Academy of Ophthalmology with support from the Glaucoma Research Foundation. From the Preface: Robert Shaffer entered the field of glaucoma over 60 years ago, at a time when awareness of the causes of elevated intraocular pressure and its detrimental effects on vision were rudimentary. He has since played a central role in the remarkable expansion of our understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of glaucoma that characterized the latter half of the 20th century. In addition to his exemplary accomplishments as an ethical and caring physician, he has been a charismatic teacher and mentor to young doctors interested in pursuing the field of glaucoma.
