Publisher's Note Discusses the different types of glaucoma, the connections between glaucoma and other conditions, the tests and procedures used to diagnose and monitor the disease, and medicines and treatments.
Industry Reviews Though much has been written about glaucoma, little of that has been geared to the lay reader. Marks and Montauredes, themselves afflicted with glaucoma, argue that it is a preventable disease. Here they provide a comprehensive description of the various glaucomas, their causes, the complex conditions leading to diagnosis, the range of treatments and outcomes, and risk factors. They discuss glaucoma that is medically induced as a consequence of surgery or the administration of steroids, offer an entire chapter on glaucoma in infants and children, and give extensive coverage to diagnostic processes and procedures as well as treatment modalities from medication to surgery and its potential complications. The authors also describe medical therapies as well as dietary approaches. Technical terms are defined in easily understood language. Highly recommended for both consumer health and professional collections. Sue Hollander, UIC Lib. of the Health Sciences, Rockford, Ill. Moore
