Welcome to my vision and health information center. This website was created in the hopes that I could share a little of what I have learned about vision, vision problems, and general health issues.
Several years ago I started a more intense research journey to learn about my own personal vision problems. I looked over many books and websites, I talked with a few people, and I watched a few television shows along the way. I found stuff scattered all over the place, but no real directions for the ordinary person to find it. My goal is to make this website into the kind of information center which I wish I had run into long ago.
Much of what IS out there is either heavily crowded by ads or businesses greed in promoting only their own products or services. There is no relationship between this website and any business, product, or individual named within these documents. The sole reason for the inclusion of any names is to provide useful directional information. Usually the information is provided because I have personally had a good experience with the named party or I feel it is a worthwhile to include for reference.
The purpose of this document is strictly to share information which I have gathered over the years. It is not meant to replace qualified medical advice, but rather be a preface or supplement to assist the patient in learning about subjects of interest. This is meant to be a primer written in an easier to understand format. The medical terms that are here include understandable (I hope) descriptions.
Most people tend to take the inner workings of the human body for granted since so much of what goes on is more or less automatic. We don't think about the fact that our circulatory system is constantly pumping blood, our respiratory system is supplying oxygen, our digestive system is delivering nutrients, or that our sensory devices are constantly collecting data. Sadly, it seems that the only time we really pay attention to these things is when something isn't working properly.
Most of the material on this website is about vision information, but I have also included some general health information topics as well. The idea is to help people to become more aware of how to keep the whole body working better.
If you are looking for a certain word, go to the GLOSSARY. The new glossary area has been modified to contain a brief description of words, but also points to descriptive sections within these documents if available. This helps in the navigation for information. The glossary terms also open up new windows, which makes it easy to return to exactly where you were by just closing the new window.
This website only briefly covers vision and general health issues. I am just an ordinary citizen trying to build a huge resource. Since I am also not a qualified medical advisor nor doctor of any kind, I have to do a lot of hunting to find even little bits of accurate information. Therefore, if you have ANY suggestions or submissions for this website, PLEASE let me know. You may contact me via the EMAIL item on the Main Menu.
I am also interested in the experiences of other people. Please email me with any experiences you would care to share with others. Let me know if I can consider your submission for inclusion on this website. It is due to the input of others so far, that I have expanded the "Vision problems" text beyond that of my personal interest in hopes of delivering useful information to others.
I am willing to consider all additions as space, time, and resources permit. Not everything that I feel is useful can be put in, but I will do my best to add items of most worthiness.
DISCLAIMER: I believe the information within this series of websites is accurate. However, I will not be held responsible for use/misuse of any information herein whether it is accurate or not.
I hope you find this website both interesting and informative!
