Über den Einfluss der rezeptiven Musiktherapie auf die Durchblutung des Auges und andere physiologische Parameter bei Patienten mit primärem Offenwinkelglaukom

The present work deals with the effect of a special receptive music therapy in combination with visualization exercises and binaural beats on the ocular bloodflow, the intraocular pressure, the visual acuity, the visual field and on the subjective emotions of patients who suffer from open angle glaucoma.
