The North American Pediatric Glaucoma Society is a professional group of physicians and scientists, expert in the diagnosis and management of pediatric glaucoma and anterior segment anomalies. The NAPGS grew out of discussions among members of the Pediatric Glaucoma Committee of the American Glaucoma Society. The group recognized that both pediatric ophthalmologists and glaucoma specialists who take care of childhood glaucoma generally do not attend the same meetings. This presented the opportunity to form a group for North American childhood glaucoma clinicians and researchers to discuss challenging cases, present research, and collaborate.
