About the Author:
Robert D'Amato, M.D., Ph.D., is an associate professor in ophthamology at Harvard Medical School, a researcher at Children's Hospital in Boston, and an attending physician in the emergency ward of Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. Joan Snyderis a writer and ARMD sufferer.
From Booklist:
Clear, practical, and accurately subtitled, this book by an ophthalmologist-patient team deals primarily with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the most frequent type of the disorder. Patient Snyder and both D'Amato's grandmother and father have the disease, enabling the authors to keep the book appealingly personal while D'Amato draws on his lengthy clinical and research experience to provide scientific information. ARMD's major symptom is gradual loss of vision at the center of the eye. D'Amato explains the differences between dry and wet ARMD and discusses the difficulties in making a definite diagnosis. Scientific studies have shown that neither alcohol consumption nor vitamins nor nutritional supplements benefit a patient. There is no cure for ARMD, yet patient and physician can do many things to help the patient and the patient's family. D'Amato summarizes current research and stresses that more funding is needed, and both authors present methods for coping. William Beatty
