INDEX would help understand some of this new glaucoma language!

Hi it’s just a suggestion but do you think an index and explanation of each of the acronyms would be helpful to understand what they all mean eg SLT, IRIDOTOMY, tubes.. can’t even remember that one😅. @

It might well do as I sometimes have to stop and think what people mean when they use an abbreviation!

But I tend to just quickly Google it.

I love that in the middle of all the names I learned over the years like keratic precipitates, meibomian gland dysfunction etc you then have something simple like 'bleb' 😁
