Book Description

1987
With an ever-increasing life span and a whole new world of available technology, it is more important than ever to be aware of what might imperil our sight and what we can do about it. Future Vision is the first book to explain clearly such new tools as cryolathes lasers, and ultrasound, as well as the new techniques for treating various vision disorders. Among the many topics covered are: how radial keratotomy may improve and virtually eliminate nearsightedness and astigmatism; how painless laser surgery can reduce the pressure of those with glaucoma; how lasers can be used to treat retinal tears; even how to spot impending eye problems, many of which can only be corrected with prompt diagnosis and treatment. Future Vision offers sound advice on how to find an eye doctor with the skill and equipment needed to perform the newest procedures, and explains the ways to be sure that he is the right doctor for you. The new alternative of outpatient surgery is thoroughly discussed, as well as how you can find out if your insurance company will pay for these procedures and how you can ask questions and submit claims. With its wealth of clearly expressed information, Future Vision will be welcome to all of us who wish to gain maximum use of our most precious sense for a lifetime.
