Many of the diseases leading to blindness such as cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration correlate with the patient's age. Even disorders including dry eye or presbyopia, which can dramatically affect quality of vision, are age related. Ocular Aging: Impact on the Eye provides an integrated description of the latest research findings on aging affecting ocular structures, discussing clinical characteristics of several sight-threatening disorders with a detailed description of clinical features and therapeutic options. Written by a team of experts, each chapter covers the impacts of aging on specific ocular structures and integrates this information with the most common ocular disorders that are significantly dependent on age. This unique approach makes this book an invaluable source of reference for researchers interested on the latest research findings, and ophthalmologist looking for a description of clinical features and therapeutic options for several age-related disorders.
