An excellent book for anyone interested in ways to keep eyes healthy and more
I purchased this updated book by Dr. Abel since mine is from the 1990s and much have been discovered since then. Dr. Abel is not only an excellent ophthalmologist, but he also ventures outside confines of his profession to look for solutions not known to most doctors. Like acupuncture, that often saves the day when the western medicine has no answers for patients. Also many supplements and eye drops are now available to address many eye problems. Well worth the price. Good for gifts, since so many people are not aware of more solutions today.

Essential knowledge about your eyes
This book was just recommended by Amazon AI. The reviews were good, so I bought it. And the contents are amazing. I am waiting for the clinic appointment and this is really helpful for my condition and communication with doctors. Now I know how I care about my eyes and this is really reducing time in the clinics for asking questions. There is an alternative solution for the surgery and I can expect good results after the surgery. Both are so much good for me. This is is revised in 2014 and I am waiting for the new version with updated news.

Hard to read
Oddly, for a book about eye care that would likely be read by people experiencing eye issues, the ink is light and the typeset is thin, making it difficult to read. I wish attention was given to people who do not have perfect eyesight.

Excellent Resource!
I learned that I had elevated eye pressure as well as ocular nerve damage at the end of 2015. I wanted to know more about what I could do to care for my eyes as the ophthalmologist prescribed drops but didn't really communicate with me much beyond that. This book has been an excellent resource concerning eye care in general and the different types of disorders and options for care and treatment. I'd highly recommend to everyone. You only have 2 eyes a lifetime.

Five Stars
A must read, truly excellent resource, especially as concerns nutrients and supplements, 5 stars with one criticism: the author mentions Vitamin D 81 times but mentions Vitamin K only 8 times. Vitamin K2 is absolutely essential to take with D because it moves calcium from the blood stream to the bone. If it isn't moved, you get calcified arteries and kidney damage. Read Rheaume-Bleu and Goodman on K2. But, BUY Abel's book!

Das ideale Basiswissen zur Gesunderhaltung unserer Augen!
Als EyeCare-Ausbilder bin ich immer auf der Suche nach aktuellen Studien, die die Bewahrung der Augengesundheit erklären. Nachdem leider Augenerkrankungen dramatisch zunehmen ist ein leicht verständliches Werk sehr hilfreich, sich RECHTZEITIG für die RICHTIGE Prävention zu entscheiden. In dem Buch werden sehr prägnant die wichtigsten Themen behandelt. Dabei werden die wichtigsten Augenerkrankungen, sowie die jeweils passende Orthomolekulare-Unterstützung besprochen. Dr. Abel schaut ganzheitlich über den Tellerrand hinaus und gibt praktische Hilfen für Betroffene. Ein spannendes Buch für alle, die so lange wie möglich, ihr gutes Sehen bewahren möchten. Ein lehrreiches Buch für alle, die sich mit EyeCare intensiv auseinandersetzen möchten. Ein hilfreiches Buch, um in dem Dschungel der therapeutischen Halbwahrheiten, biochemische Prozesse zu verstehen.

Excellent book.
This book is amazing. I was glad to see that the author has wholistic view of the patient. Most of the doctors just give symptomatic treatment. But dr Robert Abel has studied nutrition in depth. I have been studying nutrition for last 5 years because of my own health problems. Amazon recommended this book to me. I saw the preview and bought it. And when I started reading, I could not keep is down. Congrats to the author for writing such a wonderful book and thanks.
