Glaucoma is an ocular condition characterized by elevated pressure within the eyeballs, leading to eventual vision loss. While senior citizens are more susceptible to glaucoma, it is essential to recognize that individuals of all ages face the risk of developing this condition. Although glaucoma is incurable, implementing appropriate prevention measures can mitigate the damage it causes. Adopting a health-conscious diet for glaucoma prevention also plays a crucial role in minimizing the risk of developing the condition. This Comprehensive Guide provides insights into key aspects, including natural methods for preventing glaucoma, treatment options, and more.

Some people suffer from chronic, debilitating disorders for which no conventional treatment brings relief. Can marijuana ease their symptoms? Would it be breaking the law to turn to marijuana as a medication? There are few sources of objective, scientifically sound advice for people in this situation. Most books about marijuana and medicine attempt to promote the views of advocates or opponents. To fill the gap between these extremes, authors Alison Mack and Janet Joy have extracted critical findings from a recent Institute of Medicine study on this important issue, interpreting them for a general audience. Marijuana As Medicine? provides patientsâ€"as well as the people who care for themâ€"with a foundation for making decisions about their own health care. This empowering volume examines several key points, including: Whether marijuana can relieve a variety of symptoms, including pain, muscle spasticity, nausea, and appetite loss. The dangers of smoking marijuana, as well as the effects of its active chemical components on the immune system and on psychological health. The potential use of marijuana-based medications on symptoms of AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and several other specific disorders, in comparison with existing treatments. Marijuana As Medicine? introduces readers to the active compounds in marijuana. These include the principal ingredient in Marinol, a legal medication. The authors also discuss the prospects for developing other drugs derived from marijuana's active ingredients. In addition to providing an up-to-date review of the science behind the medical marijuana debate, Mack and Joy also answer common questions about the legal status of marijuana, explaining the conflict between state and federal law regarding its medical use. Intended primarily as an aid to patients and caregivers, this book objectively presents critical information so that it can be used to make responsible health care decisions. Marijuana As Medicine? will also be a valuable resource for policymakers, health care providers, patient counselors, medical faculty and studentsâ€"in short, anyone who wants to learn more about this important issue.

The long term challenges faced by people with glaucoma are numerous and important. With such a diagnosis, you have to balance many life demands, of which eye treatments are essential but by no means alone. After all, you are not living to treat glaucoma: you are living a full life into which the treatment of your condition is an intrusion. Several books written for patients describe what glaucoma is, how it is being treated, and the state of glaucoma research. We are unaware of a book on how to live with the glaucomas, covering practical challenges frequently faced by those with glaucoma, who wish to minimize risk of visual disability or even blindness. This handbook has been written by an unlikely combination of a physician and a patient. Ivan Goldberg is a world recognized expert in glaucoma treatment. Nahum Goldmann is an experienced high-tech executive, university professor and information scientist. What united us in writing this book is a desire to help people with glaucoma in a practical way. Treatment of any chronic and serious medical condition is likely to be affected by many other factors, such as money, the wellbeing of your family, your general health, other calls on your time, fitness and lifestyle, housing, your work commitments, and perhaps supporting family members, to name just a few. You could use this handbook as an everyday reference or as a guide to your glaucoma treatment. We hope you will find it worthwhile to formulate better the reasons for your actions and for your sometimes complicated choices. We try to address specific issues and anxieties that people with glaucoma might face daily, whether large or small. We aim to guide newly diagnosed individuals, their family and friends, on 'what is best to do' – and 'why'. This handbook's focus is on the step by step actions that you, as well as supporting relatives and friends, can take to improve your current situation and outlook. We try to guide you where to find additional help to understand better your condition and your prospects. We hope health professionals who help people with glaucoma also find this book useful. A digital version of this handbook could be read using computerized gadgets for visually impaired. It could also be computer-translated on the fly to various other languages and without cost, thus reaching the worldwide majority of glaucoma patients who do not read English. To those who would like to learn more about background science and numerous illustrations, we recommend a companion book by one of our co authors, Glaucoma: How to save your sight!, by I. Goldberg and R. Susanna Jr. (Kugler Publications, 2015).

About 400,000 Canadians suffer from glaucoma. In fact, this chronic eye disease affects 1 percent to 3 percent of the population of the Western world age 40 and over, and its incidence increases with age-reaching 10 percent in people over 80. Glaucoma is an extremely insidious disease. It can destroy the functional capacity of the eyes irreversibly and without warning. Screening is thus a major issue in the fight against glaucoma, especially as there are effective treatments that can prevent or slow progression of the disease. Written in simple and clear language by doctors specializing in eye disorders, this book covers all aspects of the disease and provides important information for those who have glaucoma and the people close to them: The different forms and symptoms of glaucoma Known causes and risk factors Diagnostic tests Prevention Drug therapies, laser treatments and surgical procedures Daily living with glaucoma Treatments of the future 25 most frequently asked questions (FAQs) about glaucoma Useful addresses

Glaucoma is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness both in the United States and worldwide. It is estimated to affect 60.5 million people worldwide. Glaucoma is defined as an acquired disease of the optic nerve (neuropathy), characterized by a particular appearance of the optic nerve and by visual field defects that are usually midperipheral and in the nasal visual field. Depending upon whether the optic nerve damage is associated with an open or closed appearance to the drainage channels for aqueous humor in the front of the eye, the glaucoma is referred to as open angle (the subject of this report) or closed-angle. Mild glaucoma damage to the optic nerve may be asymptomatic, but as the damage worsens, the patient begins to have difficulty with peripheral vision, contrast sensitivity, glare, and adjusting from light to dark and dark to light – symptoms that eventually affect day to day function and quality of life. In its most severe form, glaucoma results in total, irreversible blindness. Although deficient blood supply to the optic nerve, inadequate structural support for the neurons that make up the optic nerve, and insufficient supplies of neurotrophins needed to maintain the health of the optic nerve have been hypothesized as risk factors for glaucoma, experimental models and other evidence from human participants have shown that elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) results in damage to the optic nerve in a pattern characteristic of glaucoma. Furthermore, studies have demonstrated correlations between the level of IOP and the risk of having glaucoma as well as the worsening of glaucoma once present. Other studies have demonstrated that lowering IOP reduces both the incidence of glaucoma in individuals who do not have glaucoma damage but are at high risk for its development, and the rate of progression of glaucoma in individuals with established glaucoma. Therefore, the treatments for glaucoma today all focus on the reduction of IOP, which secondarily prevents the worsening of visual field loss and may therefore prevent visual impairment and blindness. The objective of this comparative effectiveness review is to summarize the evidence regarding the safety and effectiveness of medical, laser, and other surgical treatments for open angle glaucoma (OAG) in adults. Key Questions include: KQ1. Do medical, laser, and other surgical treatments for OAG reduce visual impairment? What is the comparative effectiveness of medical treatments for reducing visual impairment, of laser and other surgical treatments for reducing visual impairment, of medical versus surgical treatment for reducing visual impairment? KQ 2. Does treatment of OAG improve patient-reported outcomes? KQ 3. Do medical, laser, and other surgical treatments for OAG lower intraocular pressure? What is the comparative effectiveness of medical treatments for lowering intraocular pressure, of laser and other surgical treatments for lowering intraocular pressure, of medical versus surgical treatment for lowering intraocular pressure? KQ 4. Do medical, laser, and other surgical treatments for OAG prevent or slow the progression of optic nerve damage and visual field loss? What is the comparative effectiveness of medical treatments for preventing or slowing the progression of optic nerve damage and visual field loss, of laser and other surgical treatments for preventing or slowing the progression of optic nerve damage and visual field loss, of medical versus surgical treatment for preventing or slowing the progression of optic nerve damage and visual field loss? KQ 5. Does lowering intraocular pressure or preventing or slowing the progression of optic nerve damage and visual field loss reduce visual impairment and change vision-related quality of life? KQ 6. What are the harms associated with medical, laser, and other surgical treatments for OAG?

If you or a member of your family has been told that you have glaucoma, or, if you have glaucoma and want to be sure that the treatment you're receiving is right for you, this patient-oriented guide was designed to answer the many questions you may have. The guide gives authoritative answers, easily understood explanations, helpful suggestions, and life-style advice. It won't matter if you are not a medical specialist, since it is written in plain English. Most glaucoma patients retain good vision and live a normal life. The solutions given can take the stress out of dealing with glaucoma and should maximize the chance that no further injury to your ability to see will occur. There is good evidence that patients who try to learn more about their medical care do better in the long run. The author is Dr. Harry A. Quigley, Director of the Glaucoma Center of Excellence of the Wilmer Ophthalmological Institute, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He has 40 years' experience caring for glaucoma, researching its treatments, and has performed 10,000 medical and surgical procedures for this disease. His 350 published papers on glaucoma represent the work that is most quoted by other eye doctors in the last 30 years. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the premier vision research journal, Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science. No other living ophthalmologist has received the Friedenwald Award (ARVO), the Doyne Medal (Oxford Ophthalmological Congress), the Jackson Lectureship (AAO), and the American Glaucoma Society Lectureship. The guide has quick "Take Home" summaries at the start of each section with the most important information. For those wishing to know much more, detailed explanations, drawings and photographs follow. The sections are designed to answer the questions that patients ask, as well as the questions that they should have asked. For those who know little about their glaucoma, it begins with a simple introduction to the disease. However, those who want in depth information will find discussions of how the disease is diagnosed, what the treatment options are, and how to live a normal life with glaucoma. There are not perfect answers to every question about glaucoma. Where there is controversy, the different sides of the issue are presented to help you and your doctor to make the better choice. There is consideration given to alternative approaches to therapy. There is no cure for glaucoma, and we cannot yet restore vision once it is lost. The guide presents ways to continue life at a high level, whatever the stage of glaucoma.
