There were also other delegates from the Philippines who attended\, which highlighted the strong Filipino presence in this meeting. \nPhilippine Glaucoma Society at the World Glaucoma Congress\, Hongkong\, June 6 to 9\, 2015 (Front left to right: Alexander Joseph Reyes\, Maria Hannah Pia De Guzman\, Edgar Leuenberger\, Teodoro Gonzalez Jr\, Mario V.
