About this title

Synopsis

A guide to age-related eye problems discusses how they can be easily treated, describing a typical eye examination, the tests and procedures for detecting cataracts and glaucoma, the most common treatment options, surgery, and more.

Reviews

Eden, a practicing ophthalmologist for 30 years, aims to demystify the eye and explain how it works "and what can go wrong with it" in order to help the reader care for his or her eyes intelligently and economically. He fulfills this purpose through an in-depth discussion of the eye, its problems, and current solutions to those problems, with over half of the book devoted to cataracts and glaucoma. The lengthy glossary is especially helpful. While some of the material appeared in Eden's The Eye Book ( LJ 11/1/77. o.p.), this new work will update William F. Maloney and others' Consumer Guide to Modern Cataract Surgery (Lasenda Pub., 1986). Eden's book is definitely for the informed lay reader and should be considered for patient education/consumer health collections. Because of its depth, it might also be used to supplement pamphlet-type information or other consumer health information.
