Summary

Most of us believe that conventional medicine is the only way to treat common eye problems. But there is another way. In this guide, ophthalmologist Dr. Robert Abel brings you nutritional, herbal, homeopathic, and Asian therapies, along with conventional methods, to prevent and even reverse most vision disorders. Combining the best of high-tech conventional and alternative methods, this book covers treatments for cataracts, glaucoma, pink eye, dry eye, macular degeneration, diabetes-related vision loss, and more. Dr. Abel also alerts you to the shocking damage that prescription drugs and over-the-counter remedies inflict on your eyes. And he tells you what an eye exam can reveal about serious health problems you may not even know you have
