How To Cope With Visual Impairment

Coming to terms with the devastating effects of sight loss is one of the most difficult things anybody will have to deal with. Having to cope with the emotional and practical impact of rapid changes to your vision can be too overwhelming to manage on your own.

In this book the author draws on his own personal experiences of adjusting to life after being diagnosed, and left partially-sighted, by Macular Degeneration. He describes, and takes the reader, through the process of losing your sight and offers ways to deal with it. This guide proves that, with the correct advice and information, the blind and partially sighted can still lead full and active lives.

How To Cope With Visual Impairment: Ways To Deal With Sight Loss and Low Vision will be helpful and informative for other people going through this traumatic process and will be invaluable for the families of sufferers who want to help and support their loved ones, but cannot understand what they are experiencing.
