Kurzbeschreibung
An insidious disease, glaucoma is often misunderstood and is the leading cause of preventable blindness. Helps to dispel the myths surrounding the disease and inform readers as to the truth about glaucoma. Divided into three accessible sections, the book takes readers through the most common methods of treatment, and explores cutting-edge research and crucial new information on the effects of nutrition, exercise, and herbal medicine on glaucoma.
Synopsis
Most people can recite the warning signs of cancer and just about everybody knows the risk factors for heart disease. But how many people know the facts about glaucoma? Well, what you don't know might save your sight. Glaucoma is an insidious and painful disease that is often misunderstood, and ultimately can rob patients of their sight completely. Between three and four million Americans are estimated to suffer from glaucoma - worldwide the number of glaucoma patients climbs to near 67 million. WHAT YOUR DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT GLAUCOMA is divided into three accessible sections: Understanding the Problem, in which the myths about glaucoma are exploded and the facts are explained. The second section, Established Methods of Controlling Glaucoma, takes readers through the most common methods of treatment: traditional medication, and laser and conventional surgery. Breakthrough Discoveries, the third section, presents cutting-edge research findings and explores crucial new information on the effects of nutrition, exercise, and herbal medicine on intraocular pressure and the integrity of the optic nerve.

`The sneak thief of sight'
2. September 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Last week I was told that I had a form of secondary glaucoma. This was not totally unexpected, but it was still a shock: enough of a shock that I couldn't think of any sensible questions to ask the ophthalmologist who told me. Still, as he wasn't the ophthalmologist who diagnosed it, he may not have been able to answer some of my questions anyway. So, I left his office in a state of shock but determined to find out more about this `sneak thief of sight'.
This book was one of the first I was able to acquire, and I found it contains a lot of valuable information. With its help, I was able to differentiate types of glaucoma, read up on the treatment I've been prescribed and start work on a list of questions for my treating specialists. It was sobering to read that the common thread among all glaucoma is damage to the optic nerve and that there are more than forty different types of glaucoma, not of all of which are associated with raised intraocular pressure. It was discomfiting to read that the damage caused by glaucoma cannot be reversed. It was frightening to realise that most (but not all) forms of glaucoma have no symptoms or cause no change in vision until late in the course of the disease.
It is not possible to absorb all of the information contained within this book on one reading, nor will it all be equally relevant to all glaucoma sufferers. While the resource information contained in the book is especially useful to readers in North America, most of the information will be relevant to readers elsewhere.
I recommend this book to those who want, or need, to know more about glaucoma. For sufferers, no book can substitute for specialist care. But the information in this book may well assist you in working with your specialist to manage your own care in an informed and optimal way.

Eye-opening book
6. Dezember 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
This book was recommended by my ophthamologist, and I found it extremely thorough, readable and well-organized. It answered many of my questions, and raised others I hadn't thought about. I continue to use it as a reference. It was written 6 yeard ago, which I considered a negative, but unfortunately not much has changed in the intervening years concerning treatment of the disease.
