Sight For Sore Eyes: vision and blindness in perspective

Standard Print Edition (LARGE PRINT edition also available). Did you know that about 39 million people in the world are blind and that about 80 percent of that suffering could have been avoided? That 90 percent of blind people live in developing countries and that blindness is due to lack of, or inaccessibility of, suitable medical services. This book reveals how Christians have made a massive difference training staff, equipping and resourcing hospitals and missions to reach the world of those with failing or lost eyesight. Sight For Sore Eyes begins with vital information on the medical and surgical issues of eye care and solutions to blindness. Where vision loss is irreversible, that is not the end of life, it is the beginning of new possibilities through education and rehabilitation. The early chapters set the scene. But the compelling excitement is the real-life stories of sight restored and personal achievement. There are accounts of what is involved in being a Regional Director of a Christian Mission for people with disabilities. The pages are packed with insights into the world of vision loss and restored lives. Your heart cannot fail to be touched with what happens when sight is regained.
