Book Description
A BOOK ABOUT CATARACTS FOR PEOPLE WITH CATARACTS. NO COMPLEX MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY! - from one of America's Most Compassionate Doctors, Dr. David Richardson Why YOU NEED This Cataract Surgery Book It's a curious thing. People with cataracts often have very poor vision, making it difficult for them to read. And yet, their physicians typically ask them to sift through stacks of educational pamphlets and paperwork on cataracts. The documents are often single-spaced with small print and thin margins - in short, a nightmare for someone with cataracts. What's more, the information is oozing with hard-to-understand medical jargon and procedural terminology. I really want my cataract patients to have an entirely different experience. That's why I went to work on "So, You've Got a Cataract?" This is a book about cataracts for people with cataracts. My goal is to provide the information you need to learn about your eye's condition and to make good, safe decisions about treatment. The book covers, in a language that anyone can understand, basic information about how the eye works and what is useful to know about a cataract. If you are considering modern cataract surgery, you'll find most of what you need to know within the pages of this book. You'll learn what happens during the actual procedure and what to expect afterwards. The larger page size and Kindle eBook format were specifically chosen for this project as they allow for enlarging the text size making it easier for those with poor vision to read. Buy a Book. CHANGE A LIFE! Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to a non-profit organization devoted to preventing blindness. When you buy the book, you are not only educating yourself, but helping change lives as well.. What You Will Learn... About Cataracts How the Eye Works What Is a Cataract? Cataract Symptoms When to Consider Treatment Myths about Cataract Treatment What You Need To Know About Cataract Surgery Modern Cataract Surgery A word about no-stitch surgery Preparing For Cataract Surgery The Weeks Before Surgery The Night Before Surgery What To Expect The Day of Surgery At the Surgery Center After the Procedure The Days After Surgery Activities Why You Might Still Need Glasses Intraocular Lenses Why You Need An Implant Your Options The Decision Points Risks of Cataract Surgery Possible Complications Cataract Surgery and Glaucoma If You Have Early or Well-Controlled Glaucoma If Your Glaucoma is Moderate or Requires the use of Drops If You Have Advanced or Poorly-Controlled Glaucoma Cataract Surgery with Other Diseases Diabetic Retinopathy Macular Degeneration Prostate Medications A Word About Laser Cataract Surgery Enter the Femto Laser Appendices How To Choose A Cataract Surgeon Sample Document "INFORMED CONSENT"

Cataract Solutions
Author: Glen Swartwout
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781494240455
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Cataract Solutions: Prevention & Reversal Via Accelerated Self-Healing is a comprehensive guide to the science and art of healing cataracts naturally, using nutrition, herbs, homeopathy and light therapy. This book has been useful to support successful self-healing, as well as being a useful reference guide for caregivers, healers and holistic physicians. Dr. Swartwout shares three decades of accumulated knowledge, having helped hundreds of people avoid the most common surgery in Medicare. The best news is that when you improve your eye health naturally, not only is vision restored, but years and quality are added to your life. Modern surgery is wonderful, but it does not remove the underlying causes of cataract, which continue to affect the whole body. That is why the average life expectancy after cataract surgery is a mere 5 years. This is not generally thought about or talked about because the focus of our modern medical industry is on heroic intervention, with precious little time spent educating patients about health maintenance and primary disease prevention.

What is a Cataract?.
Park Life
Author: John Bartram
Publisher: Metro Publishing
ISBN: 1786068206
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
'An enthralling story' – Sir David Attenborough 'Retire? You can't retire!', Sir David Attenborough told John Bartram, when the man who had been gamekeeper and senior wildlife officer for Richmond Park for the past thirty years announced his intention to step away from the role – bidding farewell to the iconic park which has been his home, the backdrop for a career many would give anything for, and a way of life for so long. During a career spanning four decades, John has been the behind-the-scenes mastermind ensuring the welfare and maintenance of Richmond Park's world-famous herd of deer – widely thought of as the finest herd in captivity. Working with these fabled creatures has demanded balancing their needs with the very real, and often fatal, dangers the park's visitors pose to his herd, and John pulls no punches when it comes to his opinion on the deer's place in the scheme of things, the human 'invaders' and the collision of their two worlds. A remarkable diary chronicling the final year of John's charmed life as the guardian of Richmond Park, this memoir tells of the unique demands of each new season, and of the enormous wrench he will feel upon no longer waking up in the midst of so much unchanged and wild beauty. Park Life is a treasure trove of stories and memories, some poignant and moving, others offbeat and hilarious: from the quirk of fate and farcical interview that led to him getting the job, to living in close quarters with the deer, the tragedy of putting down fatally wounded animals, and the annual ritual of the rut – as dependable as the rising and setting of the sun.

ISBN: 0958128375
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
This book first appeared in 1991, claiming it 'replenishes the sense of what is possible'. It still does. This edition shows what is possible being done daily, problems encountered and overcome, breakthroughs big and small, the spread of the work across the globe, how more and more people are getting modern eye care... and how The Foundation bearing Fred Hollows' name is setting up an ever accelerating attack on blindness the like of which has never been seen before. The book's heart is the same: the life, work and ideas of Fred Hollows. Fred was no saint, didn't pretend to be. He was as rough a diamond as they come. Tom Keneally called him 'the wild colonial boy of Australian surgery'. 'Every eye is an eye' as Fred put it, and there's somewhere between 25 to 40 million blind in the Third World, half that preventable cataract work. Daunting, but no excuse for inaction or failure. He knew what tools were needed. Look, talk, listen, think. Urgent problem, time available unknown. Now this lean but sturdy foundation is growing and many more vital trained people are available and the number of operations a day, a year, is climbing. 'The patient, whoever, wherever, he or she may be, will see the doctor'. Today, a lot of patients are seeing the doctor, and many more will tomorrow. 'A story to lift the spirits... it is possible to change the world.' - Judith Wright, Sun Herald. '...an all-action drama' - Kirsty Cameron, Australian 'In parts this is a shocking book' - Peter Wilmoth, Age For information about The Fred Hollows Foundation visit www.hollows.org
