More about Eye & Vision
Each ebook in this collection holds fifty real accounts of one condition or procedure. The surgical side is well covered: LASIK, PRK and ICL for vision correction, cataract surgery and the light adjustable lens, strabismus surgery, and recovery after a detached retina. Other books follow long-term conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, keratoconus and dry eye, and the everyday frustrations of floaters, digital eye strain and colour vision deficiency. There are also stories from parents using myopia control for their children and from people trying presbyopia eye drops instead of reading glasses.
The writers describe what the procedures actually felt like, how recovery went, the appointments and eye drops, and how they adapted when their sight changed for good. Reading their experiences can help you know what questions to ask your own specialist. Every book arrives instantly as a PDF and EPUB.
