A Patient’s Guide to Glaucoma $16.86 The Patient’s Guide to Glaucoma is a very useful educational resource. The authors have done an excellent job of covering the pertinent aspects of glaucoma from the patient’s perspective. It provides more complete explanations of aspects of glaucoma care than any other presently available resource. It will be very helpful to patients who want more information about medications, laser, trabeculectomy, tube-shunt surgery, and many other subjects.John S. Cohen, MDDirector, Glaucoma Service Cincinnati Eye Institute, Volunteer Clinical Professor University of CincinnatiDrs. Kwon, Greenlee and Fingert are to be congratulated for creating this outstanding educational program on glaucoma. These materials provide an excellent overview of the disease and its treatment. The guide can be read in its entirety or searched to answer specific questions. It is aimed at the intelligent patient seeking to understand his or her disease. The ophthalmologist’s best ally in battling glaucoma is a well-informed patient and this guide will serve to develop patients who truly understand their disease.W.L.M. Alward, MDThe Frederick C. Blodi Chair in Ophthalmology, Professor of Ophthalmology, Vice-Chair, Dept of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, University of Iowa
