According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over seven million people in the US alone suffer from severe vision loss or blindness. In the past, low vision was truly a life-altering condition. Those seemingly everyday tasks that were once so simple instead became difficult--whether one had to work, cook, read, drive, go out to shop, or even turn on a light switch, one's world had been completely turned upside down.. Today, however, things have begun to change. With the revolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) already underway, many of the major barriers caused by diminished or fully lost vision have been lessened or completely eliminated. In Low Vision Matters, authors Laura Stevens and Thomas Blackman provide a comprehensive guide to all the aids and equipment now available--along with important practical advice--to those who are vision-challenged.The book is divided into two parts. Part One focuses on the day-to-day activities that low vision can affect--from safety in your home or traveling outside, to the handling of finances or one's home entertainment system. It discusses the latest technologies that can enable a person with eyesight problems to turn on a light, start a dishwasher, or even answer a phone through the use of oral commands--and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Part Two then provides a breakdown of the various kinds of helpful vision-aid products now available. Because the authors understand the costs involved in purchasing such equipment, they include the names of those organizations and associations in an extensive Resources section along with various other crucial contacts about which those with low vision and their loved ones and caretakers need to know. Times have t changed. Low Vision Matters provides a wealth of information that can vastly improve the daily life of a person living with vision loss or blindness..

The Conductor's Challenge: Defining Parkinson's DiseaseParkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes the death of neurons in the brain. These neurons produce a chemical called dopamine, which helps to control muscle movement. People with Parkinson's disease have low levels of dopamine, which can lead to symptoms such as difficulty with muscle movement, tremors, and stiffness.One way to define Parkinson's disease is to think of it as a conductor's challenge. A conductor must coordinate multiple different instruments to create a single, smooth piece of music. The brain of a person with Parkinson's disease, like a conductor, controls a network of neurons responsible for moving muscles. When these neurons degenerate, coordination and tremors in muscle movement occur.Symptoms of Parkinson's DiseaseThe symptoms of Parkinson's disease typically begin after the age of 50, but they can occur in younger people as well. Symptoms typically progress slowly over time.Here are some of the most common symptoms of Parkinson's disease:· Tremors: Shaking of the hands, arms, face, or trunk.· Muscle rigidity: Muscles become stiff and it becomes difficult to start movements.· Slowness of movement: Walking, turning, and other movements become slow.Other symptoms of Parkinson's disease can include:· Speech changes: Speech may become slow, slurred, or monotone.· Postural instability: It may be difficult to maintain balance, and there may be a risk of falling.· Sleep problems: People with Parkinson's disease may have trouble sleeping, or they may wake up frequently during the night.· Depression: People with Parkinson's disease may be more likely to experience depression.· Cognitive impairment: People with Parkinson's disease may experience problems with thinking, memory, and judgment.Causes of Parkinson's DiseaseThe cause of Parkinson's disease is not fully understood. However, it is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.Treatment for Parkinson's DiseaseThere is no cure for Parkinson's disease, but there are treatments that can help to manage the symptoms. These treatments include:
