Macular Degeneration: The Complete Guide to Saving and Maximizing Your Sight (2nd Ed.)

This very accessible, very savvy book by Dr. Lylas Mogk is a great read both for eyecare providers and patients. Not only is Mogk the founding director of the Visual Rehabilitation and Research Center of the Henry Ford Health System and a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s Low Vision Rehabilitation Committee, she is also a daughter whose father was diagnosed with macular degeneration in 1985 at the age of 79.

Drawing from this dual perspective, Mogk delivers a wealth of both clinical and practical information in an easy-to-read style that makes it a quick read for all interested in ARMD. From the newest information on reducing risk, experimental treatments and research to coping strategies for dealing with depression and frustration, cooking up healthy recipes for prevention and tips for finding local resources, this book delivers a powerful addition to the relatively limited body of work dedicated to this increasingly common concern.
