Autor Daniel L. Roberts Cuvânt înainte de Lylas G. Mogken Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 aug 2006
Age-related
macular
degeneration
(AMD)
is
a
progressive
disease
of
the
retina
that
develops
when
the
light-sensing
cells
in
the
central
area
of
vision
(the
macula)
stop
working
and
eventually
die.
Thought
to
be
caused
by
a
combination
of
genetic
and
environmental
factors,
the
disease
is
the
leading
cause
of
blindness
in
people
over
50.
In
1995,
Dan
Roberts
retired
from
teaching
to
help
others
who
also
suffered
from
macular
degeneration.
Roberts
has
established
support
networks
for
AMD
patients
and
provided
free
presentations
about
vision
impairment
at
schools,
community
organizations,
and
support
groups
across
the
country.
The
First
Year:
Age-Related
Macular
Degeneration
is
an
essential
resource
for
those
who
want
to
be
an
informed,
active
participant
in
the
management
of
their
condition.
