The ability to see deeply affects how human beings perceive and interpret the world around them. For most people, eyesight is part of everyday communication, social activities, educational and professional pursuits, the care of others, and the maintenance of personal health, independence, and mobility. Functioning eyes and vision system can reduce an adult's risk of chronic health conditions, death, falls and injuries, social isolation, depression, and other psychological problems. In children, properly maintained eye and vision health contributes to a child's social development, academic achievement, and better health across the lifespan. The public generally recognizes its reliance on sight and fears its loss, but emphasis on eye and vision health, in general, has not been integrated into daily life to the same extent as other health promotion activities, such as teeth brushing; hand washing; physical and mental exercise; and various injury prevention behaviors. A larger population health approach is needed to engage a wide range of stakeholders in coordinated efforts that can sustain the scope of behavior change. The shaping of socioeconomic environments can eventually lead to new social norms that promote eye and vision health. Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative: Vision for Tomorrow proposes a new population-centered framework to guide action and coordination among various, and sometimes competing, stakeholders in pursuit of improved eye and vision health and health equity in the United States. Building on the momentum of previous public health efforts, this report also introduces a model for action that highlights different levels of prevention activities across a range of stakeholders and provides specific examples of how population health strategies can be translated into cohesive areas for action at federal, state, and local levels.

Outlines a comprehensive strategy for bringing sight-restoring surgical services to the world's estimated 15.8 million persons who are needlessly blind due to cataracts. Noting the need for a public health approach to this growing problem, the book presents arguments for the use of primary-health care services as the framework for case-finding, diagnosis, referral and follow-up. Now in its second edition, this text has been revised in line with recent techniques for cataract surgery and the availability of low-cost, high-quality intra-ocular lenses in developing countries.

This volume presents the latest trends in the management of pediatric cataract. It covers everything from the role of genetic and systemic work-up to the state of the art in surgery. Discussions include ocular modifications after surgery, the incidence and risk factors of post-surgery complications, and the management of complex cases. There is a chapter dedicated to post-aphakic glaucoma, a new insight to visual rehabilitation, and a summary of a recently published Delphi project. Pediatric ophthalmologists looking for the latest research in the management of cataract will find this publication to be invaluable reading. It will also be useful to general ophthalmologists, residents, and fellows, as well as to medical students and pediatricians who seek an update for daily clinical practice.

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.

Handbook of Nutrition, Diet, and the Eye, Second Edition, thoroughly addresses common features and etiological factors on how dietary and nutritional factors affect the eye. The ocular system is perhaps one of the least studied organs in diet and nutrition, yet the consequences of vision loss are devastating. There are a range of ocular defects that have either their origin in nutritional deficiencies/excess or have been shown to respond favorably to nutritional components. Featuring a new section on animal model studies where both the ocular problem and dietary remedies can be varied, there are also new chapters on dietary supplements. Serves as a foundational collection for neuroscience, neurology and nutrition researchers, illustrating the importance of nutrition and diet in eye health and function Provides a common language for readers to discuss how nutritional factors and related diseases and syndromes affect the eye Features new chapters on infectious diseases of the eye where nutrition is a factor Discusses animal model studies, dietary supplements, natural dietary extracts from around the world, and age-related changes in ocular health
