Description - The Eye Book by Gary H. Cassel
In this volume, three eye care specialists help readers care for their eyes and protect their vision, with special attention to changes and diseases that occur in the adult years. After detailing how various parts of the eye work together so we can see, the authors review everything that can go wrong - from myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism to the major disorders of cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. They describe the signs and symptoms of problems and explain how to deal with them, including when to apply a warm compress - and when to head to the emergency room. Medical and surgical treatment of both minor eye irritations and major diseases are explained in detail, so that readers know where to turn and what to expect. The authors also tell readers what happens during an eye examination and describe the various corrective options, including eyeglasses, contact lenses, and refractive surgery. They describe special concerns of people with systemic diseases such as diabetes and indicate how medications - from antibiotics and antidepressants to tamoxifen - affect the eyes.
The book is illustrated and includes a symptoms index that directs readers to sections of the book which describe the possible causes of their specific symptoms. The large print should be especially helpful for people with concerns about their eyes.
