<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases associated with damage to the optic nerve that may cause vision loss. Open-angle glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma and closed-angle glaucoma are the common forms of glaucoma diseases. Open-angle glaucoma develops slowly without pain whereas closed-angle glaucoma can occur suddenly or gradually. It may involve severe eye pain, mild-dilated pupil, nausea and blurred vision. Damage of optic nerve caused by normal pressure is known as normal-tension glaucoma. The loss of vision that occurs as a result of glaucoma is permanent. High blood pressure, frequent pressure in the eye and family history are the common factors that increase the risk of glaucoma. Laser treatment, surgery or medication can cure this disease if diagnosed early. This book strives to provide a fair idea about this disease and help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within its management. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this disease have been included herein. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases associated with damage to the optic nerve that may cause vision loss.
