An unprecedented book that discusses a decades long journey of
understanding vision and visual impairment through working with
patients with brain damage Edward de Haan, a noted clinical vision
researcher for the last 35 years, explains how the healthy brain
deals with visual information and reveals how he learned to
appreciate what it means to be visually impaired. Through
discussions of fascinating case studies, he shows that visual
deficits are individually unique. Some patients perceive the world
without color, some see objects in a distorted manner, whilst
others will claim that they can still see although they are
demonstrably blind. The author details his experiences with these
patients to demonstrate the manner in which patient work is a
unique and vital part of discovering how the brain processes visual
information. In doing so, Impaired Vision offers a review of the
clinical symptoms related to visual impairment and highlights that
the patient study method has not lost any of its relevance in our
increasingly high-tech world. This important book: Explores the
various clinical phenomena in visual impairment after brain damage
Demonstrates the effectiveness of the patient study method for
understanding visual deficits after brain damage Contains
comprehensive coverage of the variety of symptoms that are manifest
in patients with visual impairment Includes compelling case studies
of visually impaired patients Written for a general audience but of
interest for students, researchers and clinicians, Impaired Vision
contains fascinating case studies that offer an understanding of
the symptoms that are associated with visuals deficits of brain
damage.
