Visual Disability in the Elderly
Author: Tim CullinanPublisher: Taylor & Francis

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
Visual disability (including blindness) is of major significance among the elderly, and since it is so crucial to the quality of life of the elderly, it is necessary for all professional staff concerned with old people to have an understanding of the subject. Originally published in 1986, this book was written for such an audience, whether involved in care in the hospital, nursing home or the person’s own home, and includes physicians in geriatric medicine, family doctors, nurses, social workers and staff in old people’s homes, as well as volunteers or relatives. The book will also interest ophthalmic surgeons, doctors, nurses and students. The book describes the nature of visual disability, the ‘ageing eye’ and epidemiology of the problem. It discusses the measurement of distant and near vision and how environmental factors such as lighting, colour contrasts, interior design and external architecture can affect vision. Aids, from suitable simple lenses to complex low vision aids, are also reviewed.
