For the World Glaucoma Association Consensus V, our topic was Glaucoma Screening, both for open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma. Global experts were assembled beginning in January 2008 to participate in the Project Forum E-Room, a unique aspect to facilitate discussion of each of the consensus meetings. With each of the prior meetings, arriving at the consensus was circuitous and filled with compromises, and this meeting had a similar path. The consensus process provided an excellent opportunity to critically assess the evidence relating to glaucoma screening and develop consensus statements. As with previous ones, the entire process was stimulating, educational, and thought-provoking for all participants and attendees.
