{"product_id":"myopia-maia-russell-9798887402864","title":"Myopia: Diagnosis and Management","description":"Myopia, often known as near-sightedness or short-sightedness, is a vision disorder in which the image of the object is created in front of the retina rather than on it. As a result, the faraway objects appear hazy, while the close objects appear normal. Common symptoms of myopia include blurred vision when looking at distant objects, headache, eye strain, difficulty in driving (specifically during night hours), etc. It is an inheritable condition, and genome-wide association studies have identified some of the genes that play a role. From a clinical perspective, controlling myopia in children is critical for reducing the burden of pathological myopia when they enter adulthood. The diagnosis of this disorder requires carrying out the initial objective assessment of the refractive status of each eye and it is administered by an optometrist or ophthalmologist. The treatment of this eye condition is usually done with the help of glasses and contact lenses, surgery, LASIK, vision therapy, and eye exercises. This book discusses the diagnosis as well as management of myopia. It will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid advancements in the study of this medical condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maia Russell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8887402868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798887402864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Medical Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Maia Russell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44311117136127,"sku":"9798887402864","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26b89775-b1bb-44df-bb85-2a273e82a307.jpg?v=1695721154","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/myopia-maia-russell-9798887402864","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
