In Germany, there are about 1 million people suffering from glaucoma. Glaucoma is a serious condition that needs to be treated. The doctor's diagnosis usually instills fear in patients, the fear of going blind. Prof. Dr. Ilse Strempel has written a book aimed at alleviating this fear for glaucoma patients: "No Fear of Glaucoma" explains the causes, background, and treatment strategies. Above all, the book shows those affected what they need to ensure that the disease is not threatening: relaxation. What may sound trivial can prove to be lifesaving. It is now known that there is a connection between stress and tension and glaucoma. Therefore, relaxation is a central therapeutic component. The accompanying CD was specifically developed by the author for glaucoma patients and has been recommended by her for some time.
