Welcome to the Canadian Ophthalmological Society Annual Meeting unofficial blog of topics of interest to glaucoma specialists like myself. This conference is being held in Quebec City from June 26-29, 2010 and therefore you will see many changes to this section of the blog as I update my entries each day. I would like to encourage readers to add their comments to these postings as they appear.
