具体描述
This book explains eye development, disorders, and treatments. A radio advertisement says a man once legally blind now sees 20/20 after laser treatment to his eyes. A newspaper ad pictures a woman saying she was able to stop wearing glasses after learning some eye exercises. And yet another ad claims over-the-counter eye drops will reduce the symptoms of cataracts. Are they all claims based on fact, or fiction? In this book, a practicing ophthalmologist clears away the confusion and presents the realities of eye development, disorders, disease, and evidence-based treatments. The author explains how the eye works, what can go wrong and why, and what we and medicine can do to correct or avoid disorders and retain our visual abilities as we age. The book describes time-tested, proven techniques, as well as new treatments and surgeries changing the nature of eye care, including refractive surgery options. It also explains common problems from red eye to macular degeneration, and spotlights beliefs and treatment claims that are uninformed or downright deceptive. The author's goal is to help people make well-informed decisions about eye care for themselves and their family, and also to help older people retain their visual health. Appendices include a glossary of eye and eye care terms. Part of the "Praeger Series on Contemporary Health and Living", this book advises the reader how to tell scams advertised the media from true advances in treatment and surgery; and includes current issues such as possible risk to the eyes from the use of Botox.
