January is Glaucoma Awareness Month. The most common form of this disease develops with no warning signs. Only a small number of people with glaucoma ever lose their sight completely due to advances in early detection and treatment.
Given how much you depend on your sight every day, it's essential to keep your eyes as healthy as you can. Mayo Clinic Guide to Better Vision, 3rd Edition is based on the experience and advice of Mayo Clinic specialists in eye health.
Examples of what you will find covered in this book:
Healthy habits to preserve good eyesight and prevent age-related eye disorders
Common eye diseases, such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and cataracts — causes and tips to recognize early symptoms
Ways to treat eye disease, including medications, interventional therapies and surgery
Best techniques for correcting common vision problems and tools for those currently living with low vision
And more . . .
Although an estimated 93 million adults in the United States are at high risk for serious vision loss, poor vision is not inevitable. Mayo Clinic Guide to Better Vision is here to help you protect your sight and reduce your risk for years to come.
