Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of the millions of blind in the world continues to grow, causing needless social and economic deprivation. Most of these blind can be cured, and much of the remainder prevented if all people had access to the simple and effective interventions that already exist. In this newly revised fourth edition of ‘Eye Care in Developing Nations’, the author describes in practical detail, what these interventions consist of and how they can be readily implemented. This is the handyman’s guide to delivering eye services to low-resource populations, whether they are pockets of poverty in otherwise affluent countries or broadly deprived populations living in the developing world. Demand for the first three editions from around the world has proved this book’s value. In this expanded and updated edition all chapters have been revised to reflect developments in public health and in medical and surgical treatments and techniques. The book’s value is further enhanced in the fourth edition by the greater emphasis given to clinical ophthalmology and the provision for the first time of colour photos and diagrams throughout.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book covers all aspects of eye health in South-East Asia from public health to health system to education to industry in 6 sections. The World Health Organization (WHO) South-East Asia region comprises of 11 countries - Bangladesh, Bhutan, DPR Korea, India, Indonesia, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Timor-Leste. This region is home to 26% of world population; there is a disproportionate amount of blindness (30.6%) and visual impairment (36%). This is a first of its kind book that discusses common conditions of visual impairment and blindness in the South-East Asia region. In addition, the book documents the current eye care industry in the region and the contribution of all eye health INGOs in eye care program planning and service delivery for many decades. Majority of the countries in the South-East Asia region are categorized in ‘middle-income country’ group. This book discusses the common challenges in these countries such as, suboptimal public expenditure in health, acute shortage of skilled eye health workforce, and rudimentary health industry. The book covers the following 6 sections: 1. Geographic description and health indices of the region 2. Health system evolved over years, including universal eye health, health financing and health management information system (HMIS) 3. Common eye problems including non-communicable disease NCD (and diabetic retinopathy), neglected tropical disease NTD (and Trachoma) 4. Health workforce in the region that includes ophthalmologists, optometrists, and allied ophthalmic personnel 5. Eye health support in the region of 13 international non-government organizations (INGOs) working for decades 6. Eye health industry in the region that includes spectacles, ophthalmic devices and equipment and the pharma industry The book would be a useful resource for ophthalmologists, all public health personnel and policy makers in eye health in the South-East Asia region specifically and all ophthalmologists and scientists interested in public health all over the world as well as for program planning to reach the 'Health for All' strategy by 2030 (United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, SDG 2030).

This book was released on 1994 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of people in the world who need eyeglasses is well studied and predictable: approximately one of every two persons needs this care. In developed countries, most who need eyeglasses can get them; the reverse is true in developing countries. It is generally seen that only 10 to 15 percent of the people in developing countries receive basic eye care. Beyond the basic need for eyeglasses is the problem of blindness. More that 40 million are blind. As many as 40 percent of these cases could have been prevented with early detection and appropriate treatment. While eye care is available everywhere, in most developing countries the cost is extremely high when compared to the average income. Additionally, there are not enough practitioners available to serve the population. Governments are aware of this shortfall. However, there are limited resources and many competing needs with higher priority. Help The World See is a non-profit corporation whose purpose is to provide primary eye care in developing countries. Help The World See has developed an approach to resolving the problem of shortage of primary eye care. The concept is to establish a managed, fee-for-service, primary low cost system within developing countries. The system will provide primary eye care at a very low cost compared to existing systems. Each new system will be economically self-sustaining and will require no subsidy from the government or any other organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large proportion of the world's eye disease is preventable through better education, sanitation and medical therapy. A global initiative for the elimination of avoidable blindness is being given high prominence by WHO over the next ten years with many countries instigating their own prevention programmes. Interest in this topic is therefore at an all-time high. A timely revision of this established textbook, Epidemiology of Eye Disease provides practising ophthalmologists and public health officials, as well as students enrolled on an increasing number of related Masters Courses, with definitive information on both the epidemiology and prevention of eye disease. Thoroughly revised and updated throughout for the second edition, the content has been enlarged by the addition of new sections on clinical trials, molecular epidemiology and refractive errors. The revision also has a much-enhanced international flavor with many new contributing authors, and reflects the considerable experience gained by the editors through their respective associations with the highly regarded courses run at the Institute of Ophthalmology in London and at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. The second edition of Epidemiology of Eye Disease continues to be a one-stop source of relevant information derived from all major epidemiological studies on the prevalence, risk factors and distribution of eye disease, to be referred to frequently by students and practitioners in both developed and developing nations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unoperated cataract is the cause of millions of cases of visual impairment and blindness in poor populations throughout both the developing and the developed world. This wonderfully written volume shares the experiences of a team of surgeons who have demonstrated how the surgical procedures can be simplified and made more efficient, accessible, and far less expensive. It is a step-by-step manual to solving the problem where adequate surgeons can be trained to follow suit. Subject matter ranges from ways to increase demand among those who need surgery to the organization of surgical services, responsibilities among different personnel, efficient layout of clinical facilities, and how to sustain services at the least cost to those who need it most. The basic lessons in this volume will remain pertinent for decades to come and provide a blueprint worthy of mass replication.
