This is a book highly relevant to all people having a problem with their vision, even if it's just nearsightedness, and also for all others caring about their eyes and their vision too. The book is excellent in many ways, but what makes it unique, is that the advice comes from a doctor who is an authority in both ophthalmology and nutrition. The nutritional information will be especially helpful to my mother, who is a diabetic. For example, I learned how diabetics can often clear up leakages in their retinas and avoid laser surgery -- something I had not read anywhere else. Learning how to prevent macular degeneration and cataracts will also be very helpful to her. And as for myself, I was thinking about having LASIK done to correct my nearsightedness, but I will not now that I know what problems might result in the future. And since the book is dealing with almost all topics concerning the eye, most people will get an accurate answer to what they are are concerned about. The book is also easy and entertaining to read, and this combined with knowing that Dr. Lavine has your best interests at heart makes this book very special and absolutely worthwhile reading and getting back to over and over again. I just wish we had Dr. Lavine here in Sweden, but having his book is the next best thing!!
