Full Description

Glaucoma is a disease that poses a serious threat of vision. The patient seeks to know how the disease originates, whether he did something "wrong" to cause it, whether a change in lifestyle can improve it and which treatment options are available. This book will provide patients, relatives and friends, as well as care-providers and even those simply interested in this topic, with a better understanding of the clinical picture of glaucoma.
