Thyroid Eye Disease: Understanding Graves\' Ophthalmopathy

9 reviews
Elaine A. Moore

Your Health Press, 2003

Great information on Graves Eye Disease!
I too have been recently diagnosed with Graves eye disease and was left very frustrated as to what I could do to help after leaving an opthamologist's office that supposedly specialized in this. This book lists things we can do to help this condition and stop aggravating - my Dr. didn't tell me to quit using Visine among numerous things. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for ...

Celestial Arts, 1998

I don't have to wear glasses because of this book!
An excellent book! When I first started looking into alternatives to contacts and glasses I was lucky enough to have a friend refer this book to me. I started reading it and immediately began to apply some of the simple vision exercises. My eyesight improved radically! - About an immediate 75% improvement (towards what I remember from youth). This book had lots of simple eye exercises I could ...

Reversing Dry Eye Syndrome: Practical Ways to Improve Your Comfort, Vision, and Appearance

7 reviews

Yale University Press, 2007

Thank you, Dr. Maskin!!
Finding "Reversing Dry Eye Syndrome" was a Godsend for my eye dilemma. After over a year of treatment with several ophthalmologists, and after trying (time and again to no avail) their recommendations for eye drops, punctual plugs, Restasis and the like, this book was like an oasis in the desert. I even got to the point where I thought I must be imagining my pain and discomfort. After reading ...

Robert D'Amato M.D. Ph.D., Joan Snyder, ...

Walker & Company, 2000

If you've recently been diagnosed with ARMD, read this book!
A few years ago my wife had a blood vessel in her retina burst causing permanent partial vision loss in one eye. (She complained of "wavy vision" the day before she was to go to Europe on vacation - she cancelled the trip.) Since then we have had an Amsler grid on our refrigerator door, and she has learned to cope with the `missing spot' in her field of vision.... Two weeks ago she noticed - ...

Relearning to See

Thomas Quackenbush

North Atlantic Books, 1997

Unbelievable
I bought this book on Amazon.com a month ago, after my doctor prescribed stronger lenses from -.50D to -1.50D. I performed these natural seeing habits during this one month period, and went back to the doctor because I couldn't believe myself that the glasses became too strong for me (luckly I didn't get rid of my old glasses with -.50 strength) so I could wear them in the mean time. After being ...

Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd, 1989

Six Star Book
I wanted to give six stars to this book, but Amazon.com does not have this option. This is the must have book for all the ophthamologists.

The Program for Better Vision: How to See Better in Minutes a Day Without Glasses or Contacts!

11 reviews
Martin Sussman

North Atlantic Books, 1998

Vision improves more than 25%
When I started this program, my perscription was -4.75 in each eye with enough astigmatism that I had to wear glasses to correct it. Now, three months later, I wear contacts at -3.50 and no correction for astigmatism and am seeing 20/20. I have hope that someday I might not need lenses at all.

Robert Abel

Kensington, 2004

HOW VITAMINS CAN SAVE YOU FROM GOING BLIND
***************************************************************** BACKGROUND I am a 32-year old chemistry Ph.D. student who this past fall was told that retinas in both eyes had detached. I underwent surgery and got the "best possible" surgical result; however, this is not the same as what my vision had been before. At that point, I was told that since they didn't know why this (retinal ...

Dictionary of Eye Terminology

Barbara Cassin, Sheila A.B. Solomon

Triad Pub Co, 1990

A Superb Staple in the ophthalmic world!
I have personally used this resource for the past 20 years and it remains one of the "must haves" for clinical research coordinators who are trained through Ophthalmic Research Training Services. It's also a fantastic tool for the CRA'S/ Monitors as well, who may be new to ophthalmology or need a little review from time to time, or just to make sure their spelling is correct.

The visual pathway from the eyes to the primary visual cortex is then discussed. Orientation-specific simple and complex cells in the striate cortex are discussed.

James, C Folk, Mark, E Wilkinson

F.E.P. International, 2006

Important information, easy to read
The authors of this book are very knowledgeable on the subject but they have managed to write a book that is not over my head. It has some important information for all ages on how to prolong the life of your eyes. I would recommend this book, not only for those who are already at risk for age related vision loss, but for parents who want to teach thier children good habits now so they will be ...

Ophthalmology Review Manual

Kenneth C Chern, Michael E Zegans

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000

A must have for the Ophthalmology resident
Very high yield review book with logical organization and systematic approach to reviewing clinical ophthalmology. There is no section on optics or pathology, but despite this shotcoming I can give no less than 5 stars. Dr Chern has done more for resident education with his books than almost any other single person in the field of Ophthalmolgy. When coupled with the Chern question book you ...

Clifford W. Brooks, Irvin M. Borish

Butterworth-Heinemann, 1991

Optician's Bible
If you are planning on entering the optical field, or are a seasoned Optician, this book is a must have. Amazingly comprehensive, covers everything from the very simple to complex in a very easy to follow format. The style is precise, yet comfortable to read, and for the student (aren't we all?) there are review questions at the end of chapters. Not recommended ... required!

Great little review book!
Fantastic, skinny little neuro-ophtho review book. Good for neurology residents and the eye guys seem to like it, too. Great chapters on visual fields, and also on ocular motility.

Bert Glaser, Lester A. Picker

Addicus Books, 2001

Technically informative and filled with useful advice
What a boon and comfort it would be to the patient if, upon receiving a diagnosis of macular degeneration, the doctor presented a copy of this book! I thought I knew all the handy tricks until I read Chapter 9, "Making the Home Eye Friendly." After helping my mother deal with her legal blindness for ten years, I thought I knew all the practical hints for coping with macular degeneration. Now I'm ...

Anterior Eye Disease and Therapeutics A-Z

4 reviews
Adrian S. Bruce, Michael S. Loughnan

Elsevier, 2002

Wonderful
As an OD student, I have been using this book quite a bit. I love the easy to read format and all of the color photos. It is a small reference book that I can keep in the clinic instead of hauling the large & heavy Kanski around. My only fault is that it is only of the anterior segment. I was wondering if there is a posterior a-z book of the same format? I have searched but haven't been able ...

Girl with Glasses: My Optic History

Marissa Walsh

Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2006

Attention: All Girls, and, oh yes, women
This book is witty, beautifully written, and rings so true! I remember hiding behind a tree watching for my intended victim (boyfriend) peeking out with my glasses on, and when I spotted him, whipping the specs off, stepping out and pretending I had seen him all along. Later came the agony of HARD contact lenses etc., etc. The interesting part of this book is that it can be a wonderful metaphor ...
