ConsensusThe Glaucoma Consensus is based on an assumption that groups make better decisions than even their smartest member.Assembling a sufficiently large and sufficiently diverse group of glaucoma specialists and scientists provides recommendations and insights that are likely to be superior to those of a single clinician.These recommendations and insights form the foundation for the Glaucoma Consensus Reports.
