Dr. Abel discusses macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts and dry eye. How do sleep problems impact the eye? Can overzealous treatment of high blood pressure rob patients of vision? While we recognize the hazards of outdoor UV sunlight, could indoor lights threaten vision? What roles for homeopathic, Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicines for eye disease?
