Book Synopsis Eradicating Blindness by : Logan D. A. Williams
Download or read book Eradicating Blindness written by Logan D. A. Williams and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes community ophthalmology professionals in South Asia who demonstrate social entrepreneurship in global health to help the rural poor. Their innovations contested economic and scientific norms, and spread from India and Nepal outwards to other countries in Africa and Asia, as well as the United States, Australia, and Finland. This feminist postcolonial global ethnography illustrates how these innovations have resulted in dual socio-technical systems to solve the problem of avoidable blindness. Policymakers and activists might use this example of how to avoid Schumacher's critique of low labor, large scale and implement Gandhi's philosophy of good for all.

Book Synopsis Coping with Vision Loss by : Bill Chapman
Download or read book Coping with Vision Loss written by Bill Chapman and published by Hunter House. This book was released on 2001 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book begins with a promise: people with severe vision loss can be trained and equipped to function as sighted. The author, himself legally blind for 30 years, fulfills that promise with precise information and guidance on improving life through visual rehabilitation. The book explains fundamental facts about eyes and vision, including the causes and varieties of blindness, and then moves on to the new skills the partially sighted person must learn. Specific approaches and devices are covered in depth, including eccentric viewing and driving with telescopic glasses, and the visual and electronic aids that can help overcome the effects of vision loss. In spite of his own limited vision (20/240), Dr. Chapman uses a computer without a voice synthesizer, watches TV, and even drives, and he shows readers how to do the same.

Download or read book Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis How to Survive Losing Vision by : Helen J. Harris
Download or read book How to Survive Losing Vision written by Helen J. Harris and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-04-21 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of one womans courageous struggle against the relentless encroachment of darkness. Helen Harris, after a childhood marked by unplanned clumsiness, skinned knees, and being known as the class klutz, discovered she was a victim of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a disease causing progressive blindness and having no known cure. Devastated by this prognosis of ever-growing darkness, this brave and stoic young girl determined nonetheless to make the most of her future. She was galvanized to furious activity, driven by anger at the abysmal absence of knowledge of RP in the medical community and, in fact, this world. But what could one woman do? Plenty. For someone with no experience in business, public relations, volunteerism, or recruitment, Helen Harris undertook to master them all. One lone woman with the mission to move the mountains of ignorance about a disease even Helen had never heard about, all the while trying to cope with the ever-growing darkness surrounding her and her sons. She came to know that RP was one of a family of related genetic diseases, one more terrifying than the other. These diseases, being of genetic origin, often strike multiple siblings in a family. This book will lead you through Helens amazing success in recruiting celebrities to their cause and shedding light into the darkness of RP, involving the medical world in the fight, and garnering support from the political world up to and including a president of the United States. Information on all the new technology that has been developed since Helens journey began are enclosed within the pages of the book.

Now-a-days the number of those who are rendered totalsblind is much smaller. The disease assumes a more chronic form, giving the patient time to resort to medical aid. The knowledge of the disease and of its treatment is more generally distributed among medical men than was the case at the time of the invasion of the epidemic. COHN had among 1000 blind eyes 17 which had been destroyed by trachoma. Magnus found among 707 cases of total blindness examined by him, 2-2 per Bcricht uber die Heidelberger ophthalmologischc Versammlwig, 1881 p. 38. 158 BLINDNESS FROM TRACHOMA. cent, caused by trachoma. Daumas had among 1178 cases of blindness of both eyes 54 per cent, caused by trachoma, CarReras-arago among 395 blind, 9/1 per cent, from this cause. If we look only at the number of cases of blindness, we shall not obtain a right conception of the extent to which trachoma proves a scourge in many countries. In the chronic form of this disease, those affected by it are often for years incapacitated for work before turning blind, and no statistician takes account of those who after years of suffering do not become totally blind, but retain only very imperfect sight. What a great loss of working power does not that imply for a busy industrial country like Belgium, where, in 1830, one sixth part of the population were suffering from this disease (JUENGKEN). 55. Prophylaxis.--The same may be said of trachoma as of the blennorrhcea of new-born infants: if sufficient care be exercised no one ought to lose his sight by it. The object of prophylaxis here also consists of two points: Avoiding communication and treatment of the affected persons. The communication of the disease will be best prevented by stringent separation of the...
