Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The History of Glaucoma: Part III - The Era of Open-Angle Glaucoma (1900s- )The twentieth century saw the identification and understanding of open angle glaucoma, a disease which could be detected, monitored, and treated before irreversible vision loss occurred. New technologies allowed ophthalmologists to measure intraocular pressure with increasing precision, map subtle visual field defects, analyze the optic nerve, and ultimately visualize retinal nerve fiber damage with unprecedented detail.This volume traces the remarkable evolution of modern glaucoma care, from the development of tonometry and perimetry to the recognition of primary open-angle glaucoma as the world's leading cause of irreversible blindness. It chronicles the history of glaucoma medications, microsurgical techniques, filtration surgery, laser treatment, optic disc analysis, and optical coherence tomography-innovations that have fundamentally reshaped both diagnosis and patient care.Drawing upon original scientific publications, rare historical illustrations, and authoritative scholarship from internationally recognized experts, this richly illustrated volume reveals how successive generations of physicians, scientists, and engineers transformed glaucoma from a largely untreatable blinding disorder into one of medicine's most closely monitored chronic diseases.An essential resource for ophthalmologists, historians of medicine, glaucoma specialists, and anyone interested in the evolution of modern ophthalmology, The History of Glaucoma: Part III tells the story of the technological revolution that continues to define glaucoma care today. …
