Preserving your eyesight is crucial for nearly all activities in life. It’s a well-known fact, yet approximately 93 million adults in the US risk serious vision loss. The Mayo Clinic Guide to Better Vision has been designed as an informative and easy-to-understand guide to vision health. It covers a range of topics from understanding common vision issues to preventative methods against age-related eye disorders and tips for maintaining optimum eye health at any age.
As we advance in age, our eyes become more prone to conditions like age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts. Even younger adults can experience uncomfortable eye issues like dry eyes, infected tear ducts, styes, floaters, pink eye, and eye strain. Over 170 million Americans rely on eyeglasses or contact lenses for vision correction, and those numbers are expected to rise. The good news is, many of these conditions can be prevented, treated, and even reversed.
In the Mayo Clinic Guide to Better Vision, renowned ophthalmologist Dr. Sophie Bakri, M.D. guides you through the diagnosis and treatment options for these common eye disorders. This comprehensive eye care guide also offers preventive measures for protecting your eyes against eye diseases, retinal disorders, and permanent vision loss. In addition, it shares the most effective techniques for correcting common vision problems, along with useful tools for those living with low vision.
Written in a clear, conversational tone, accompanied by detailed illustrations, photographs, and tables, this book serves as a practical resource for optimizing your vision by maintaining healthy eyes and sharp eyesight, regardless of your age.
