{"product_id":"9782923830209","title":"Glaucoma","description":"\u003cp\u003eAbout 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten 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: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003eThe different forms and symptoms of glaucoma\u003cbr\u003e Known causes and risk factors\u003cbr\u003e Diagnostic tests\u003cbr\u003e Prevention\u003cbr\u003e Drug therapies, laser treatments and surgical procedures \u003cbr\u003e Daily living with glaucoma\u003cbr\u003e Treatments of the future\u003cbr\u003e 25 most frequently asked questions (FAQs) about glaucoma \u003cbr\u003e Useful addresses\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Annika Parance Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062401515760,"sku":"9782923830209","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9782923830209_p0.jpg?v=1763710284","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9782923830209","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
