of us in the field of eye care recognize that many of the

in routine doctor visits. Having a book like this as a
reference provides answers to many questions and even
suggests lists of questions to ask. As a firm believer that
each of us has the primary responsibility for our own health
care, I appreciate the advice and encouragement Edith
provides."
