Abstract

Glaucoma is the number one cause of blindness in Japan. However, it is said that 99% of cases can be prevented by having the right knowledge about glaucoma, receiving proper treatment, and continuing self-care. This book thoroughly and clearly explains what you can do to "see for the rest of your life," from concerns about the disease to questions and worries about testing and treatment methods, surgery, and everyday life measures such as diet and exercise.
