3rd Edition
Many factors other than visual acuity affect your ability to see well.
All five senses are important to you, but sight is the sense you may trust the most when performing many routine activities. With the help of your eyes, you prepare meals, select clothes to wear, read books, write notes, balance bank accounts, drive cars, run errands, perform your job, surf the internet, watch television and enjoy the theater. On an emotional level, vision helps define your self-image and how you interact with others. The author Henry David Thoreau expressed the value of sight succinctly, "We are as much as we see."
Many people successfully overcome the challenges with their vision and continue to live independent and fulfilling lives. The advice of eye specialists in Mayo Clinic Guide to Better Vision, 3rd Edition will help you keep your eyes healthy in every stage of life.
