The South East Asia Glaucoma Interest Group (SEAGIG) is proud to launch the educational resource that has emerged from our Initiative for Management, Awareness and Glaucoma Education (IMAGE) project. Aiming to enhance glaucoma management throughout the region, this comprehensive slide and video kit is the result of contributions from more than 50 leading experts from 7 Asian countries. This resource covers the spectrum of glaucoma management, from diagnosis to follow-up, using the Asia-Pacific Glaucoma Guidelines as its curriculum basis. SEAGIG is grateful to Allergan for their sponsorship of this project through an unrestricted educational grant. Intended for use by ophthalmologists for their own educational advancement, as well as to facilitate educational programmes, the slides have been prepared by SEAGIG-IMAGE Project Working Group along the following lines: 2 modules of the SEAGIG-IMAGE project were released every 2 months and published in SEAGIG’s official publication, Asian Journal of Ophthalmology beginning with Volume 9, Number 1, February 2007. All 9 modules from the educational resource that has emerged from the IMAGE project have now been launched. All modules are available online in PDF format — SEAGIG Members can download and print the modules.
