Features: This book introduces the "silent thief of sight" – an eye disease that worsens without warning, without symptoms, and unnoticed. There are 15 million glaucoma patients worldwide, and with increasing population numbers and longer lifespans, the incidence of glaucoma is rapidly rising. Everyone knows some glaucoma patients. However, for certain reasons, glaucoma has not yet become a part of public health awareness. Millions of people around the world go blind due to glaucoma, and over 50% of these cases could avoid blindness if diagnosed and treated early. Glaucoma is an eye disease that worsens without warning, without symptoms, and unnoticed, and it has yet to receive the attention it deserves from the general public. The book provides a detailed description of the characteristics of various types of glaucoma, reviews medical diagnostic methods and tools, and lists numerous feasible treatment options, including eye drops, laser surgery, and more. It is not just a simple introduction but also offers a positive and beneficial outlook for glaucoma patients in their fight against the disease, believing it will help build confidence among glaucoma patients and their families in overcoming the condition.
