Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The History of Glaucoma: Part V - The History of Glaucoma SubtypesGlaucoma encompasses a diverse group of disorders with distinct causes, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic challenges. The History of Glaucoma: Part V explores the historical development of our understanding of these individual glaucoma subtypes, revealing how advances in pathology, genetics, immunology, and clinical observation transformed seemingly unrelated conditions into well-defined disease entities.This volume traces the evolution of knowledge surrounding pediatric glaucoma, neovascular glaucoma, iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome, pseudoexfoliation syndrome, pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma, and uveitic glaucoma. It also examines the history of immunological concepts in glaucoma, highlighting the changing ideas and hypotheses regarding the role of inflammation, autoimmunity, and neuroimmune interactions in glaucomatous optic neuropathy.From the earliest descriptions of congenital buphthalmos to the recognition of pseudoexfoliation as a systemic disorder, from ischemic neovascularization to endothelial abnormalities and pigment liberation, the chapters illustrate how careful clinical observation, technological innovation, and basic science gradually unraveled the unique mechanisms underlying each disorder. Together, they demonstrate that the history of glaucoma is not the story of one disease, but of many diseases united by a common consequence: progressive optic nerve injury.Written by internationally recognized experts, The History of Glaucoma: Part V provides ophthalmologists, researchers, trainees, and historians of medicine with a comprehensive account of the discoveries that shaped our understanding of glaucoma's many subtypes. By placing these disorders within their historical context, the volume offers valuable insight into the evolution of diagnosis, classification, and treatment, while highlighting the scientific advances that continue to influence glaucoma care today. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
