Glaucoma affects tens of millions of people worldwide, but despite its prevalence, many people lack accurate information about this disease. Therefore, the goal of this course is to provide glaucoma-related information to help the professional take a supportive role during his or her clients adjustment to life with glaucoma. The lessons describe the workings of the eye as well as the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma. They also discuss the emotional impact of vision loss and ways to continue daily activities when such loss occurs. The material in this course is informational only and does not replace the advice of a medical specialist. |
