(Advances in Visual Science and Eye Diseases) 1st ed. 2019 Edition
by Ningli Wang (Editor)
This book focuses on the characteristic of glaucomatous optic
neuropathy and its relationship with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure.
It also explores the potential novel methods to manage glaucoma by
adjusting CSF pressure.
This book covers several interesting
topics such as why normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patients still
develops into glaucoma without high intraocular pressure (IOP); and
whether there are factors other than IOP contributing to the
pathogenesis of NTG why the role of IOP in the pathogenesis of POAG
becomes vague and controversial. This book contains over 40 chapters,
including numerous images from clinical patients and experiments on
gross anatomy, pathological tissue, and immunohistochemistry, electronic
speculum etc. The ophthalmologists and researchers can also benefit
from the clinical cases. We hope this book serves as a clinical guidance
with practical significant for the understanding, prevention and
diagnosis of glaucoma.
