Description

There is a high incidence of visual impairment among seniors, and vision impairment is one of the ten most frequent causes of disability in America. With greater numbers of people living longer, the incidence of vision loss will rise substantially and learning to adapt to these changes in visual status will be increasingly important to the patient who wants to restore independence, confidence and quality of life. Rosenbloom And Morgan's "Manual Of Vision And Aging" is a comprehensive introduction to visual care for the aging population.
