This comprehensive reference source is a state-of-the-art guide to the scientific, clinical, rehabilitative, and policy aspects of vision impairment and blindness.
The
Lighthouse Handbook on Vision Impairment and Vision Rehabilitation, published under the auspices of the prestigious Lighthouse International, fills a growing need for a comprehensive resource on this field.
Featuring over 70 chapters with contributions from leading international experts, the Handbook looks at the physiology of visual impairment itself and follows vision throughout the lifespan--to determine which treatments are most effective for which age groups. In addition, it recommends future research and goals for the field in terms of gathering demographic data and confronting the challenges faced during treatment and in everyday life.
With this wide coverage,
The Lighthouse Handbook on Vision Impairment and Vision Rehabilitation is an invaluable reference for a wide audience including ophthalmologists, optometrists, research scientists, psychologists, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, social workers, special education professionals, rehabilitation teachers, orientation and mobility specialists, and low vision instructors.
