A "Bible" of Vision Rehabilitation...
Coping with Vision Loss offers a wealth of options to those with
severe visual impairment. It concentrates on the five leading causes of
vision loss: cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular
degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. The author helps readers to
understand how these conditions destroy vision and what they can do
about it. His approach covers:
- things to know: visual acuity, how we see, eye fatigue and pain
- skills to learn: such as eccentric viewing and scanning
- vision aids: large print products, talking appliances, telescopic
glasses and more
Chapman teaches readers how they can maximize the use of their remaining
visual perception. With the skills and techniques discussed in this
book, readers will be able to reduce and even overcome the devastating
impact of vision loss, while regaining independence, privacy and
self-esteem.
