Dr. Douglass' Complete Guide to Better Vision

Eyes. They are two of our most precious assets. And everybody wants them to work perfectly. I know I do. When they don't, life becomes proportionally more difficult to the degree that they don't work. Thanks to modern technology, though, much can be done to help the weaker and diseased eye. But is modern technology the end-all of eye treatment? I hardly think so. People have been dealing with eye problems since the earliest days of his creation, and eyeglasses, contacts, and laser surgery are all relatively new. Now, don't get me wrong. Many of the latest advances in eye treatment are absolutely marvelous and we'll be discussing some of those in this report. Because if you don't have a particular eye problem now, there's a good chance you probably will somewhere down the road. If you decided to wait until you have the problem, it may be too late. And a little prevention goes a long way. Our eyesight will deteriorate with age: Decreased visual acuity and the need for glasses, cataracts, and eventually macular degeneration are an inevitable part of the aging process in most people. That isn't a pleasant thought, but it is reality. I've included in this book information about how the eye works, brief descriptions of various common eye conditions, traditional remedies to eye problems, and a few simple suggestions that may help you maintain your eyesight for years to come. - William Campbell Douglass II, MD
