内容説明・目次
内容説明
Glaucoma is a disease that poses a serious threat to vision. The patient wants to know how the disease originates, whether he or she did something "wrong" to cause it, whether a change in lifestyle can improve it and which treatment options are available. This book provides 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.
