In simple, accessible language, the book explains: * What glaucoma is, including early symptoms * What causes increased eye pressure * Treatment options * How to prevent blindness * How to become an advocate for your own eye health If you have been recently diagnosed with glaucoma or are struggling with managing your glaucoma, this is the book for you.
