The Complete Guide to Age Related Macular Degeneration: for Patients and Carers

This book takes a holistic view of the person with Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and not only covers the potential impact on the affected individual but also on those who care for them. It was written with the intention of providing a one-stop resource about this eye condition. Each chapter covers a different aspect of AMD; - What is AMD? -- Contributory Factors -- Confirming the diagnosis -- Treatments -- Adapting to sight loss -- Grieving -- "Why me?" -- "I see things that I know are not real" and Support. This book will hopefully demystify AMD and go some way to making the sight loss journey better informed.
