Glaucoma is the first irreversible blinding eye disease in the world. How to detect early, diagnose timely, treat appropriately and adhere to follow-up management has always been the direction of Chinese ophthalmic clinical workers. At present, the world is undergoing profound changes, and China is in the best period of development since modern times. In the next 5–10 years, there will be many remarkable achievements in the field of glaucoma prevention and treatment in China. Based on our personal understanding of this specialty, we look forward to the development of glaucoma management in China in the future, and wish to make greater progress in blindness prevention and treatment in China.
