From Library Journal

Fear of reduced vision and blindness regularly tops surveys of consumers' concerns about their health. Therefore, comprehensive, current information on this small but vital area of the human body is a high priority for libraries answering consumer health queries. The authors are associated with the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins University, consistently rated one of the top ophthalmology departments in the United States. Their guide covers routine eye care and the more common eye diseases, providing up-to-date facts on refractive surgery, treatment for optical neuritis, and possible nutritional therapies for cataracts and macular degeneration. Information on systemic and general health conditions affecting the eye is provided, as is a good introduction to the problem of "low vision," vision that cannot be corrected by spectacles, contact lenses, or introcular lens implants. The coverage of the newest refractive surgical techniques, clinical trials, and medications makes this an important acquisition for libraries with similar titles; highly recommended for public, school, and hospital libraries.?Pamela C.

From

In a thorough, lucid, usefully illustrated text, Cassel and colleagues cover eye basics, the prevention of eye problems, the warning signals of those problems, and diagnosis and treatment of them, and they advise how to proceed sensibly. Cross-references in the text enable readers to pursue a topic and find out all they need to know without having to go down confusing byways. The overview given of eye anatomy is not encumbered for lay readers with unnecessary details, and discussions of weighty topics are lightened by touches of humor (the chapter on eyeglasses, in particular, instances both these practices); also, many myths are disproven. Characterizing cataracts as the most misunderstood disorder of the eye, the authors stress the need for a second opinion before proceeding with surgery. They also discuss the eye as an index of general health. Packed with understandable information, the book deserves to be in most public libraries. William Beatty
