The Eye Care Revolution by Barbara A. Thomassian (Southern New Jersey) 5 Stars
January 09, 2007
This book is the most informative and in plain english that anyone can understand. If you are a person who believes in Herbs and natural cures, than this is the book for you. I first got the book from my library for my husband who has bleeding vessels in both of his eyes. We read it and then decided it was too excellent not to purchase and keep in our personal library. We purchased the herbs that were recommended for this condition and also went a little further with other herbs. There is some improvement (after only 3 weeks). Dr Abel, the author is an excellent Doctor and has the gift to be able to relate information on all levels of understanding. This book is worth every penny and more. You won't be disappointed if you are considering this purchase.

The best book EVER on Eye Health Care by A. D. Castro 5 Stars
August 06, 2001
I had a near-debilitating eye burn accident a month ago and I went through a series of opthamologists who couldn't answer a majority of my questions regarding the recovery of my eyesight. To complicate matters I had LASIK surgery that was affected by the burn accident and no-one could tell me anything. Until I read this book; this book provided me with holistic and scientific approach to treating and supplementing my treatment. From supplements to herbs, this book provided me a complete approach to the healing process. I am now near 90% visual acuity and because I can now read, I've began a lifelong process of eye health care that will help me in the future.

HOW VITAMINS CAN SAVE YOU FROM GOING BLIND 5 Stars
April 03, 2001
***************************************************************** BACKGROUNDI am a 32-year old chemistry Ph.D. student who this past fall was told that retinas in both eyes had detached.I underwent surgery and got the "best possible" surgical result; however, this is not the same as what my vision had been before. At that point, I was told that since they didn't know why this (retinal detachment) happened that there was no guarantee that it wouldn't happen again.I am extremely lucky that I stumbled upon Dr. Abel's book by accident in a local bookstore -- it has profoundly changed my life for the better. I am now at (...) to buy extra copies for friends and relatives. ONE OF THE BEST HEALTH BOOKS EVER!This is one of three of the most important health books I have run across in my life. (The other two are nutritionally-related -- "Entering the Zone" by Barry Sears,Ph.D., and "The Formula" by Gene & Joyce Daoust, and provide information on how to use diet to minimize illness and maximize longevity. These books well-complement this book and are of a similar holistic mindset.)Dr. Abel, a U.S.-trained ophthalmologist (M.D.), has embraced the wisdom of non-Western medicine in his search to find ways to treat eye problems that Western medicine claims are "untreatable" and by so doing HAS FOUND SOLUTIONS TO MOST COMMON EYE PROBLEMS, WHICH HE HAS SHARED IN THIS BOOK. Also typical of a non-Western approach, this book takes a holistic view -- showing that several other conditions can also accompany eye problems. For example, before reading this book, I never recognized that arthritis and dry eyes commonly occur together (they are both collagen "diseases" which, in retrospect, makes a lot of sense) and that successfully treating one will also help lessen the severity of the other. MOST EYE PROBLEMS ARE DUE TO INADEQUATE DIET & SO PREVENTABLEThe core message of this book is that most eye problems are the result of nutritional (specifically, vitamin/supplement) deficiencies.ORGANIZATION OF THE BOOKA general background on the eye if first given to provide a foundation to the layman, clearly explaining eye structure and basic function. (This background would probably be accessible to the average person who doesn't have a scientific background.) Successive chapters build on this foundation as they each address one of the most common eye diseases, e.g. glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eyes, etc. At the end of each chapter is given a summary of what vitamins you can take to prevent/halt the progression of that particular eye problem.The vitamins/supplements recommended are mostly available in your local grocery store's vitamin aisle -- you don't have to make a special trip to someplace exotic. (Also, a lot are common enough that there are generic versions available, which makes this easier for people on a limited budget.)HOW THIS BOOK WAS USEFUL TO ME (& HOW IT COULD BE USEFUL TO YOU TOO)Although the final step leading to my retinas detaching was the mechanical tearing of the retina, this book made me realize that the precursor was the weakening of the collagen in both my blood vessels and in the eye structure itself and that these were to vitamin deficiencies. (This book calls retinopathy "scurvy of the retina".) Some of the solutions recommended in the book for this, e.g. bilberry and vitamin C, are vitamins/supplements known to strengthen collagen and other tissues. I have taken multivitamins everyday and so would not have initially guessed that I have had a vitamin deficiency. But, after comparing the amounts in the multivitamin to the amounts recommended, I see that I did have one. (Remember you use up a lot of vitamins when you are under stress! :-) ) THIS BOOK IS EMPOWERING!After reading this book, I realize that I have the power to prevent my eye condition from worsening just by taking a few more vitamins and supplements a day. This is a very easy way to significantly improve the quality of your life.I am extremely grateful to Dr. Abel for writing this book and giving me the ability to take back my life again.ONE SMALL CRITICISM: WHY NOT A LARGE-PRINT EDITION?My only possible complaint is that a book on eye problems needs to be available in a large-print edition so that the bulk of people who need this book might actually be able to read it themselves.
