Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting millions of individuals worldwide. In 2013, the prevalence of glaucoma worldwide among people aged 40-80 years was estimated at 64.3 million, increasing to 76.0 million in 2020 and 111.8 million in 2040. Men were more likely to have primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) than women. After adjusting for age, gender, habitation type, response rate, and year of study, people of African ancestry were more likely to have POAG than people of European ancestry. People living in urban areas were more likely to have POAG than those in rural areas. In order to prevent the symptoms of blindness and treat the morbidity associated with glaucoma, early detection and treatment is imperative. Unfortunately, not much is being done by the individuals themselves, in the absence of proactive efforts by the governments and policymakers.

This eBook is an exercise to reach out to health-conscious audiences worldwide, in an effort to equip them with cutting-edge insights into screening and management of glaucoma. The book has copious references for further reading, as needed. 

It consists of cutting-edge advances related to:

  1. GLAUCOMA SYMPTOMS
  2. GLAUCOMA DIAGNOSIS
  3. TYPES OF GLAUCOMA: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
  4. GENETIC RISK FACTORS FOR GLAUCOMA
  5. GLAUCOMA TREATMENTS
  6. NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS AND PHYTOCHEMICALS AS ADJUNCTIVE THERAPIES FOR GLAUCOMA
  7. APPENDIX 1. NATIONAL EYE INSTITUTE RECOMMENDS...

A well-informed individual  is in a better position to discuss with their physician the range of options available, and decide upon the best possible course of action, in prevention as well as early treatment.
