DESCRIZIONE

The fastest growing segment of our polulation is those aged 85 and older. Just the sheer number of people inspires a growing recognition that there is a great need to learn to diagnose and treat low vision and to communicate more effectively with persons experiencing age-related vision loss, their caregivers, and their family members. Dr. Rosenbloom, well known for his expertise in low vision and care of the elderly patient in optometric practice, provides a very practical manual on treating this population. The manual is designed to enable the clinician to access information quickly and apply the information directly to practice. Contents1. Primary Vision Care in Geriatrics: An Overview2.
