This important meeting provides a unique opportunity to bring together leaders in medicine, science, industry, venture capital, and the FDA to discuss emerging ideas in glaucoma and encourage collaboration to accelerate their development for clinical use. Since its establishment in 2012, this annual forum continues to grow and provide the ultimate opportunity to highlight important advances and facilitate networking between these essential groups. As a result, there are now more effective therapies and diagnostic tools in clinical practice today to help doctors manage the disease more effectively. But, unmet medical needs remain in glaucoma. Glaucoma Research Foundation is resolute in its mission to preserve vision and continue its role as a catalyst in the advancement of research towards new treatments and a cure. SILVER Glaucoma 360 would not be possible without the generous and selfless contributions of so many including: members of our Advisory Board, Program and Steering Committees who have volunteered their time to build an outstanding agenda; our dedicated sponsors who have helped to underwrite this event; our speakers, presenters, and panelists who are ready to share their expertise and unique perspectives; our attendees; the support of our Board of Directors and staff at Glaucoma Research Foundation; and the hard working team at The Palace Hotel.

Adverse event reporting instructions can be found on page 32 2 | ICONS OF OPHTHALMOLOGY BAUSCH + LOMB Foreword As Bausch + Lomb’s Business Director for Pharmaceuticals in the UK and Ireland, my role allows me to really understand just how important eye health is. It makes me proud to be able to say that through our Minims range we enable eye care professionals to perform procedures which improve the lives of patients – and it’s been doing so for the last fifty years. To mark the fiftieth anniversary of our Minims range, we launched the Icons of Ophthalmology initiative. A celebratory campaign designed to shine a spotlight on the importance of eye health in general, and specifically to showcase and honour ophthalmic practitioners who over the last five decades, have advanced eye health and care through their contributions and endeavours. I am delighted to share with you not only the Icons of Ophthalmology winners for each decade, but also the nominees. Each of which has been put forward by our Expert Panel - made up of ophthalmologists all of whom are very much at the top of their game. The winners have been voted for by eye care professionals across the UK. All of those nominated embody our mission at Bausch + Lomb, namely, to help people to see better and live better, and through this book we recognise their individual contributions, be it advances in regards to technique, training or technology; many of which remain relevant in 2020.
