Handbook of Nutrition, Diet, and the Eye, Second Edition, thoroughly addresses common features and etiological factors on how dietary and nutritional factors affect the eye. The ocular system is perhaps one of the least studied organs in diet and nutrition, yet the consequences of vision loss are devastating. There are a range of ocular defects that have either their origin in nutritional deficiencies/excess or have been shown to respond favorably to nutritional components. Featuring a new section on animal model studies where both the ocular problem and dietary remedies can be varied, there are also new chapters on dietary supplements.
The basic measurements in ophthalmology included here are described fitting different clinical situations. Simple diagrams which can be easily remembered and reproduced are included. This book can be used as a reference book for all ophthalmologists in their learning and teaching purposes and also in clinical practice.
In this clear and engagingly written book, Martha Farah presents the first comprehensive overview of the cognitive neuroscience of vision. Beginning with the transformation of light images into neural images within the eye, Farah traces the processing of the visual signal throughout the brain, culminating in our conscious awareness of the objects and people we see. The perception of colour, motion, faces, printed words, and other important components of our visual world are explained, along with the related cognitive processes of visual attention and visual mental imagery. Each chapter brings together a fascinating array of clinical anecdotes and observations, data from physiological experiments, and the latest neuroimaging studies of the normal brain at work. The unprecedented integration of the different stages of visual perception and the different approaches to these stages will be of value to students and specialists alike.

"The Handbook of Nutrition, Diet and the Eye" is the first book to thoroughly address common features and etiological factors in how dietary and nutritional factors affect the eye. The ocular system is perhaps one of the least studied organs in diet and nutrition, yet the consequences of vision loss can be devastating. One of the biggest contributors to complete vision loss in the western hemisphere is diabetes, precipitated by metabolic syndrome. In some developing countries, micronutrient deficiencies are major contributory factors to impaired vision. However, there are a range of ocular defects that have either their origin in nutritional deficiencies or excess or have been shown to respond favorably to nutritional components. The eye from the cornea to the retina may be affected by nutritional components. Effects may be physiological or molecular. This book represents essential reading for nutritionists,
dietitians, optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians,
endocrinologists, and other clinicians and researchers interested
in eye health and vision in general.

Conjunctivitis is a common ocular problem that can be seen worldwide and it is still under consideration for global public health. There are many causes of conjunctivitis. Clinically, bacterial conjunctivitis is characterized by purulent ocular discharge, eye crusting or sticky eyes on awakening, foreign body sensation, and conjunctival injection. In more severe cases, chemosis and lid edema may also occur. The involvement is usually unilateral at first but rapidly spreads to the contralateral eye. There are also many tropical infections and disorders that can induce conjunctivitis and those problems are called tropical conjunctivitis. This book discusses several causes of different cases of conjunctivitis. It provides information on the etiology, the diagnosis of different forms of conjunctivitis, and the clinical management.
