The First Year: Age-Related Macular Degeneration: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed: The First Year

Autor Daniel L. Roberts Cuvânt înainte de Lylas G. Mogk
en 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.
