Low Vision Manual

Clinical
Joy Myint is impressed by a comprehensive and very practical guide to the world of low vision assessment

Two well-respected clinicians in the visual impairment field, Professor Jonathan Jackson and Dr James Wolffsohn, edit the recently published Low Vision Manual.

The list of contributing authors is also impressive, including a chapter by the late Janet Silver, possibly one of her last contributions to the profession and visual impairment field.

The book is a comprehensive reference source for anyone interested or currently working in the field of visual impairment. It covers the relevant theory as well as useful practical information and it is gratifying to note a compelling section on rehabilitation written by a appropriate professional.

The chapters are arranged with handy practical advice highlighted in easy-to-read sections. These sections ensure the practitioner can access functional information quickly, while the scholar can read the associated theory. A number of appropriate illustrations, in colour and black and white, are useful both for diagnosis, identification and teaching others - including patients.
