Synopsis

When people are diagnosed with a serious sight problem, receiving the correct practical and emotional support can help them accept and live with their low vision. This book equips ophthalmologists with the practical skills and information necessary to understand a patient's situation, and ensure they connect with the right services and support. It includes simple strategies that ophthalmologists can incorporate into the way they practice - even during the busiest clinic - covering subjects including low vision and mobility aids; improving the patient experience; working with other health and support services and supporting visually-impaired children. An invaluable resource for both ophthalmologists in training and for experienced practitioners looking for ways to improve services.
