Dry eye is one of the most common ocular diseases. With the wide
use of consumer electronics, environmental pollution and aging
population, it has been prevalent and has seen a rising trend
globally. Symptoms of dry eye affect daily activities and quality
of life. This book details and illustrates popular medical science
knowledge about dry eye. The cartoonist also shares her own
treatment process. Various questions and doubts raised by dry eye
patients and the effective therapy and treatment are well
explained. The book provides a good resource for readers to acquire
in-depth knowledge on causes and hazards brought about by dry eye
as well as how to prevent its occurrence.
How to find wisdom and spiritual sustenance in a time of crisis and
uncertainty? In Divine Fire, David Woo answers with poems that move
from private life into a wider world of catastrophe and renewal.
The collection opens in the most personal space, a bedroom, where
the chaotic intrusions of adulthood revive the bafflements of
childhood. The perspective soon widens from the intimacies of love
to issues of national and global import, such as race and class
inequality, and then to an unspoken cataclysm that is, by turns, a
spiritual apocalypse and a crisis that could be in the news today,
like climate change or the pandemic. In the last part of the book,
the search for ever-vaster scales of meaning, both sacred and
profane, finds the poet trying on different personas and
sensibilities-comic, ironic, earnest, literary, self-mythologizing-
before reaching a luminous detente with the fearful and the
sublime. The divine fire of lovers fading in memory-"shades of the
men in my blood"-becomes the divine fire of a larger spiritual
reckoning. In his new book of poems, Woo provides an astonishing
vision of the world right now through his exploration of timeless
themes of love, solitude, art, the body, and death.
