Eye Care Sourcebook
This guide is written for the general reader seeking guidance on how to avoid serious illness by following preventive lifestyles and recognizing early warning signs. It also supports the layperson who has received a diagnosis of a serious illness or disorder, as well as family members and nonprofessional caregivers. Material from publications issued by the National Institutes of Health and other agencies and associations is compiled here, providing information on the functions and structure of the eyes, and describing the prevalence of vision impairment and blindness in the US. The book supplies information on corrective therapies and procedures, and gives details on the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of various conditions. Also included are tips on preventing eye injuries, suggestions for people recently diagnosed with vision impairment, a glossary, and directories of state libraries for people with vision problems and government and private organizations that provide information.
