We meet three people, two children and an adult, who must cope with various types of blindness. There is an explanation of blindness, using an interesting graphic of the eye, and colour photographs show people coping with everyday life in numbers of ways. The causes of blindness are discussed as well as the different kinds - macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, etc. There is emphasis on the ordinariness of every-day life, and a good section on getting help which has organisation addresses and web sites. There is also a glossary and an index. A good introduction.
