Synopsis:
The number of Americans that suffer from vision loss continues to rise. More than 3 million people over 40 years old in the United States are considered visually impaired or blind. Understanding how to take care of the eyes, the early symptoms of vision loss, when to seek treatment from a doctor, and the available treatment options are key factors in taking care of your eyesight. This new Sourcebook provides information about eye anatomy and preventive vision care. It also covers the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of common vision disorders, diseases, and conditions, as well as vision correction with glasses, contact lenses, and laser surgery. The book also provides information about current research and clinical trials, a glossary, and resources for additional help and information.
