内容説明

This is a comprehensive collaboration between optometrists and occupational therapists, developed to increase the understanding of vision. It was created as a resource for occupational therapists, enabling them to develop an understanding of vision, to appreciate the various effects that vision problems can have on the practice of occupational therapy, and to manage patients with vision disorders more effectively. The text covers all aspects of diagnosis and treatment of vision deficits. It discusses the details of vision therapy for eye movement and visual perception deficits. Information is provided about vision disorders and OT management of vision problems specific to autism, acquired brain injury patients, learning-disabled children, developmentally-delayed, multiply-impaired children, and low-vision patients. The original 16 chapters have all been revised and updated based on recommendations from reviewers and changes that have occurred in theory, diagnosis and treatment since the first edition was published. Three new chapters have been added to address the area of low vision. Chapter 15 is an introductory chapter and provides an overview of the low vision evaluation, low vision aids, and low vision rehabilitation from an optometric viewpoint. Chapter 16 describes the various professional disciplines involved in low vision rehabilitation and how occupational therapy fits into the team of rehabilitation professionals. The final chapter on low vision is written by an occupational therapist who has developed a low-vision rehabilitation programme in her rehabilitation facility.
