At the annual AGS meeting in Utah, I had the opportunity to chat with several physicians. I enjoyed seeing many with whom I have worked, but I would like to focus here on my conversations with practitioners with whom I had not spoken previously. Naturally, I asked them how they liked Glaucoma Today. Boiled down, several of them responded, “I didn't see why we needed another publication in ophthalmology, … but I actually like it.” I have come to think that such grudging respect is high praise indeed.

In an effort to keep readers pleasantly surprised, Glaucoma Today is expanding this month to include two new offerings. Drs. Jonathan Crowston and Robert Weinreb of the Hamilton Glaucoma Center in San Diego are serving as the section editors of a column styled in the format of surgical rounds. As evident in their first selection, the aim of this regular column is to provide a thoughtful discussion of how to manage a variety of surgical scenarios.

This issue also contains an opportunity for CME. Readers may obtain credit by completing the activity on the Internet or by filling out and mailing the answer key. I would like to thank Dr. George Shafranov for agreeing to compose the first CME article. Additionally, this issue marks the return of the Practice Pointers column.

To help support the growth in Glaucoma Today's content, we have hired an assistant editor, Jordan Ross.

Our new columns further the publication's mission to serve as a prime source of information and education for physicians who treat patients with glaucoma. I hope you enjoy this issue, and, as always, I encourage you to share your comments!
