Day Brought Back My Night - Aging and New Vision Loss

First published in 1989, this title explores the lives of people who have lost sight in late life as a result of age-related visual disorders. As life-expectancy in western society has increased, the number of people who fall into this group has grown, yet little had been written on this plight. This study filled the gap in the literature.
