Synopsis In the Blink of an Eye by : Stefana Sabin
From monocles to pince-nez and goggle-eyes, a cultural and technological history of glasses in fact and fiction. This book examines those who wore glasses through history, art, and literature, from the green emerald through which Emperor Nero watched gladiator fights to Benjamin Franklin’s homemade bifocals, and from Marilyn Monroe’s cat-eye glasses to the famed four-eyes of Emma Bovary and Harry Potter. Spectacles are objects that seem commonplace, but In the Blink of an Eye shows that because they fundamentally changed people’s lives, glasses were the wellspring of a quiet social, cultural, and economic revolution. Indeed, one can argue that modernity itself began with the paradigm shift that transformed poor eyesight from a severely limiting disease—treated with pomades and tinctures—into a minor impairment that can be remedied with mechanisms constructed from lenses and wire.

Synopsis Complete Guide to Eyecare, Eyeglasses & Contact Lenses by : Walter J. Zinn
Two well-respected eyecare specialists, Dr. Walter J. Zinn and Dr. Herbert Solomon, offer important tips and sound medical advice on how to prevent, treat or correct eye-related problems for the visually-dependent 1990s. Computers at work and home, video games, cable-TV, CD-ROM and all the high-tech equipment available today may produce a lot of fun and communicate plenty of information, but they create one negative side effect: eye strain. This book authoritatively offers the best defense, with timely suggestions on how to maintain better eyesight. Written in easy-to-understand language, you will learn of the latest treatments, surgeries and eyewear available.

Synopsis Take Off Your Glasses and See by : Jacob Liberman
This revolutionary new look at vision will broaden your understanding of how you see and how you can see without your glasses or contact lenses. Take Off Your Glasses and See shows you how to free yourself from the crutch of prescription lenses, to build your self-confidence and awareness, and to open up your inner and outer vision in order to see more clearly. Jacob Liberman, an internationally recognized authority on holistic vision care, explains how most vision problems are the result of an unconscious decision to "close your eyes" to emotional discomfort or pain, and how increasingly powerful corrective lenses only encourage eyesight to withdraw even further. By removing lenses and practicing breath- and movement-awareness techniques to shift your perception, you can reintegrate the original disruption in the mind/body system. Dr. Liberman’s approach can help you join the thousands who have escaped from the self-defeating cycle of poor vision.
