Deaf-Blind by State
Everybody has disabled people somewhere in their family tree. Lots of people are born disabled due to genetic reasons or as the result of pregnancy complications. People get injured or acquire debilitating diseases at some point in life. I've lived with both, a disabled relative and serious injuries of my own.
The thing is that the world goes on. It doesn't slow down or stop just because someone is disabled. We can do so much politically and the rest we have to do on our own to fit into the world somehow in a useful, productive way to get the money we want to buy the things that will help us survive and enjoy our lives more.
The best thing I ever saw about disabilities was the 1940s movie called Shaggy Bush which was a movie about a family going through ups and downs. There was a bit in there where the mother said her daughter's disability didn't mean she was doomed. It just meant that she would still do what she felt in her spirit with her life with this extra nuisance to deal with.
There's a lot of discrimination. You can't legislate it away. The only way to solve it is to prove to prejudiced people that you can do the things you do as a job or for a career just as well or better than other people.
As a group, disabled people are the poorest category within society. The government could do more but it won't happen until disabled people of all kinds come together to form a powerful voting block capable of swaying elections like the AARP for people over 50.
There has to be some kind of major aggressive program to train disabled people and put them out into the workforce. They should get preferential treatment for all government jobs.
There are all kinds of assisted living retirement communities for seniors who can afford them. There could be living communities built especially for disabled people. We're wealthy enough as a society to do this but we choose to spend the money on warfare and all kinds of other foolishness like border guards between Canada and the United States. We're spozed to be best friends.
I hope this book will help you but there are a lot of holes in it. It's a first edition. It has lots of room for improvement. To all the disabled and seriously ill people out there, this is your book. Send me articles, websites, tips, etc. to help make it the one central disabilities help book in the world.
Eye Info
Within the optical field, there are several specialties. An opthamologist and optometrist are the highest grade of eye technician, doing surgery, removing cataracts, certified to use the excimer laser to cure nearsightedness, etc.
One step below that is the optician, the eye technicians who takes eye tests and fits you for glasses and contact lenses among other things.
Optometrists diagnose, manage, and treat basic conditions and diseases of the human eye. Their practice consists of eye examinations, diagnosis of problems, and the prescription of corrective lenses.
Dispensing opticians fill the prescription that is written by an optometrist. They design, measure, fit and help select frames for their patients.
An ophthalmologist is a physician who diagnoses and treats eye diseases.
For the brain to interpret the information transmitted along the optic nerve, to blend the two separate images into a single image and to be able to judge distances correctly, the two eyes must work together.
This stereoscopic vision or binocular vision as it's sometimes called is managed by a set of small muscles that align the eyes according to signals received from the brain.
The pupil is the circular opening in the center of the iris.
The cornea is the transparent, domeshaped covering of the front of the eyeball.
The lens is the transparent, internal part of the eye.
Light enters the eye and makes an image on the back of it which is called the retina. The image is converted to electrical impulses that move along the optic nerves to the visual cortex in the brain where it is perceived as an image.
If the eyes have problems getting the visual images to the brain, it cannot properly coordinate images from the two eyes causing a variety of possible eye disorders.
Some problems cause total blindness but most involve vision impairment at various levels of intensity, some of which can be partly corrected, as through glasses, contact lenses, drugs or eye surgery. Many eye disorders appear only with age.
Amblyopia is permanently impaired vision even though the eye structure is functional. The problem is in the nerves connecting the retina with the brain. This cause could be nutritional
deficiency or toxic levels of alcohol, tobacco, or other poisons.
Anisometropia or aniseikonia is a condition where the two eyes vary markedly in what they see because of unequal focusing power in the eyes or differences in their size and shape. Glasses can treat this problem to a limited extent. Contact lenses are somewhat better.
Astigmatism is a condition where the cornea is slightly misshapen causing blurring and distortion of vision. For mild cases, the distortion can be offset by special glasses but in severe cases, contact lenses are needed to provide a smooth, focusing surface.
Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the membrane that covers the eye when closed. It can also result from allergy. If not effectively treated with antibiotics, it can scar the cornea and blur vision.
Corneal abrasion or scratch is a direct injury that can become infected. The resulting scar can lead to some loss of vision. Cornea transplants can help restore vision to some cornea patients.
They are easier and more successful than other kinds of transplants, because the cornea is relatively insulated from the body's immune system making rejection less likely.
Detachment of or damage to the retina is an injury where the light-sensitive membrane of the retina is torn or pulled away from the layer behind it.
This requires emergency surgical repair, otherwise, central vision may be lost though some peripheral vision may remain. If surgery fails, an injectable silicone drug may be used to try to reconnect the retina, wrking like a glue of sorts.
Hyperopia/ farsightedness is a condition where vision is blurred for near vision. The condition is easily corrected with glasses.
Hyphema is a hemorrhage in the front of the eye making it look bloodshot which can be caused by violent shaking or a blow to the head. In children, it's a sign of possible child abuse.
Myopia/ nearsightedness is a condition where near vision is strong but far vision is blurred. The problem is easily corrected with glasses.
Optic atrophy is a condition where the optic nerve has been damaged impairing vision.
Presbyopia is the need to read things at least 2 feet away because the eye can't focus up close. It usually occurs as people age. The solution is to buy nonprescription reading glasses or one special contact lens for reading.
Retinitis pigmentosa/ RP is a progressive disease where the rods of the retina degenerate and start to reduce vision. RP is a genetic disorder. It could lead to total blindness.
Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumor that often occurs in very young children. It is thought to be genetically inherited. The pupil turns whitish. It could cause blindness. Radiation therapy is the main treatment. If it's cancerous, the eye may have to be removed.
Retinopathy is a general disease or disorder of the retina characterized by retinal damage due to long-term hypertension (high blood pressure).
Strabismus or crossed eyes is a condition where one eye turns or squints because of a muscle or neurological problem. Quite often, the squinting eye has impaired vision. If that eye is turned toward the nose, the condition is called
Esotropia.
If turned outward, it is exotropia. People with this condition, usually children, often use one eye continuously and risk losing sight in the other eye one possible solution is to use a temporary eyepatch over the stronger eye. Glasses and surgery could also be used to treat the problem.
Xerophthalmia (dry eye) is a dryness of the cornea and conjunctiva. It could be caused by malnutrition. If uncorrected, it can cause keratomalacia, a softening of the cornea that cause blindness.
The legal definition of blindness is as follows:
The person is sightless or has such limited vision that he/she must rely on hearing and touch as his/ her chief means of learning.
Central (visual) acuity does not exceed 20/200 in the better eye, with correcting lenses, or it is greater than 20/200, but is accompanied by a limitation in the field of vision such that the widest diameter of visual field subtends an angle of no greater than 20 degrees which means tunnel vision.
Low vision/ visual impairment is described as:
Central (visual) acuity, with corrective lenses, does not exceed 20/70 in either eye but the person is not blind or:
Visual acuity is greater than 20/70 but there is a limitation in the field of vision such that the widest diameter of visual field subtends an
angle of no greater than 140 degrees or:
any other visual impairment that significantly affects the normal ability to see.
The latest innovation is permanent contact lens implants being done at UCLA. If you have very low near sighted vision, they might be able to help you, 310-206-7692.
For people with severe corneal problems, there is a process where corneal cells are taken from the patient or a relative, grown in a lab then transplanted into the cornea.
This procedure is for people who can't be helped by traditional corneal transplants, generally people with chemical burns or some diseases. This research is being done at UC Davis.
Many people lose their sight as they get older because too many blood vessels grow in their eyes clouding them over. The drug Visudyne is a good treatment for this.
If you have corneal problems, the Foundation for Eye Research in Boston has developed a contact lens to enable you to see better.
There's a Dr. William Dobelle who has created a device where people who were blinded after the age of seven meaning that their visual cortexes were developed can be made to see with a small video camera put on a pair of glasses attached to a computer the user wears hooked to the visual cortex (two holes are drilled into the brain).
Over time, the visual cortex readjusts itself such that they can see better and better. Try his name in a search engine.
When you buy eyeglasses, don't go for that phony ultraviolet coating that costs $20 extra.
Diabetes is a major cause of blindness.
Use beta-carotene that converts to vitamin A. Find it in dark green and bright orange fruits and vegetables.
Take vitamin C, E and turmeric (curry powder).
Minimize the use of salt.
Try to avoid polluted areas.
When reading or working on a computer, take a break for your eyes.
Wear sunglasses with ultraviolet protection when the sun is bright.
Don't smoke.
Eat healthy foods.

Holistic Eye Treatments
The main reasons for eye defects are reading in bad light (either too dim or too bright), excessive reading, watching too much television and eating artificial food.
Not all vision problems are caused by permanent changes in the eyes which can be fixed by glasses.
The muscles of the eyes degenerate through non-use. Instead of moving your head to see, try moving the eyes only to exercise the eye muscles.
The three chief causes of defective vision are mental strain, wrong diet and improper blood and nerve supply.
Dr. W.H. Bates, the founder of revolutionary methods of eye treatment, considers mental strain to be the cause of all defects of vision, which puts corresponding physical strain on the eyes, their muscles and nerves.
Dr. Bates has concentrated his efforts on methods of treatment which will remove the condition of mental strain.
The eye is a part of the body and as such must share in any condition affecting the system. If your body is toxic, the eyes will get some of that poison. This is due mainly to excessive starch, sugar and protein.
The muscles and blood vessels surrounding the eyes share in the clogging process taking place over the body due to improper metabolism caused by an imbalanced and too-concentrated diet. The eyes need to be properly supplied with blood and nerve force for proper vision.
The muscles covering the upper portion of the spine at the back of the neck are the main seat of the mechanical interference with the blood and nerve supply to the eyes.
The following exercises will loosen the strained and contracted muscles surrounding the eyes:
Keep your head still and relaxed.
Gently move the eyes up and down six times.
Repeat the same movement twice or thrice at two-second intervals. The eyes should move slowly and regularly as far down as possible and then as far up as possible.
Move the eyes from side to side as far as possible, without any force or effort six times.
Repeat two or three times.
Hold the index finger of your right hand about eight inches in front of the eyes, then look from the finger to any other large object ten or more feet away.
Look from one to the other ten times.
Move the eyes up gently and slowly in a circle, then move them low in the reverse direction. Do this four times.
Rotate the neck in circles and semi circles.
Turn the head to the right and left as far as possible several times.
These exercises help to loosen up contracted neck muscles which may restrict blood supply to the head.
Sun exercise: Sit on a bench facing the sun with your eyes closed and gently sway sideways several times for 18 minutes. Open the eyes and blink about ten times at the sun and look at some greenery. This helps shortsight and is good for inflamed eyes.
Splashing: Splash plain, cold water several times on closed eyes. Rub the closed lids briskly for a minute with a clean towel. This cools the eyes and boosts blood supply.
Eat a natural diet of fresh fruits, such as oranges, apples, grapes,peaches, plums, cherries; green vegetable like lettuce, cabbage, spinach, turnip tops; root vegetables like potatoes, turnips, carrot, onions and beetroots; nuts, dried fruits and dairy products.
Cakes, pastries, white sugar, white bread, confectionary, tea, coffee, etc., together with meat, fish, or eggs, play havoc with the digestion and the body.
Take vitamin A. The best sources of this vitamin are cod liver oil, raw spinach, turnip tops, cream, cheese, butter, egg yolk, tomatoes, lettuce, carrot, cabbage, soya beans, green peas, wheat germ,fresh milk, oranges and dates.
A moist warm cloth over both eyes helps heal some pain. Use a towel over this to keep warmth in.
Artificial Retina
artificialretina.energy.gov/index.shtml, artificial retina project, a collaborative effort to develop an implantable microelectronic retinal device that restores useful vision to people blinded by retinal diseases.
Color Blindness/ Color Vision Deficiency
Color blindness, color vision deficiency is a condition which involves reduced ability to perceive color differences, especially in the red and green ranges. Total color blindness, which is rare, involves seeing everything in shades of black and white.
Color vision is the capacity of an organism or machine to distinguish objects based on the wavelength of the light they reflect or emit.
Trichromatic color vision is the ability of humans and some animals to see different colors.
The genes for color vision are on the x chromosome. Females have 2 x chromosomes so if one is deficient, the other still has color vision.
Color vision defciency is usually an inherited disorder. About eight percent of all males have defective color vision. Receptor cells for color in the retina malfunction, sending incorrect information about color to the brain.
A person with color blindness might not see what a normal person sees when he sees red but he or she sees a color that he or she knows as red so it's not really a big deal unless you're working in some kind of industry where you need knowledge of colors.
Color blindness is at #617.759 or RE921 at the library.

Computer Vision Syndrome/ CVS
If you spend a lot of time at a computer, take breaks for your eyes. Blink regularly to allow liquid to spread around.
Keep the monitor about the same distance away as you would keep a book you're reading.
LCD monitors with a high refresh rate flicker less than other monitors.

Conjunctivitis Info
Conjunctivitis is the inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin transparent membrane covering the front of the eye.
It spreads from person to person through direct contact.
The eyeball and under side of the eyelids become inflamed. At first, the eyes are red, dry and burning. Later, there may be a watery secretion. In more serious cases, there is pus formation.
Medical science believes that conjunctivitis results from bacterial infection, viruses or eye-strain.
Vitamin A and B2 have been found valuable in the treatment of conjunctivitis.
Eye Cancer/ Ocular Oncology/ Ocular Melanoma
Ocular oncology is the branch of medicine dealing with tumors relating to the eye and its adnexa.
Eye cancer is a cancerous growth in any part of the eye.
Retinoblastoma (rb) is a rapidly developing cancer that develops from the immature cells of the retina, the light-detecting tissue of the eye.
Cancer of the eye can be treated with proton therapy.
Causes of eye cancer consist of ultraviolet rays and exposure to direct sunlight.
Eye cancer is usually treated with surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Eye Floaters/ Vitreous Floaters/ Seeing Spots in Your Visual Field
Floaters are deposits of various size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility within the eye 's vitreous humour.
Eye floaters is a condition that will eventually affect up to 70% of persons.
Eye floaters are those tiny spots, specks, flecks and "cobwebs" that drift around your eye from the optic nerve.
Eye floaters are a usually harmless vision-related phenomenon.
Eye floaters are within the eyeball and are not eliminated by rubbing.
Eye floaters are actually shadows created by some interior eye conditions. Although painless and generally harmless, some eye floater patients still choose to have them removed.
They are not optical illusions but are entoptic phenomena.
Floaters follow the motion of the eye, remaining to the side of the direction of gaze.
An eye floater is a spot that appears to drift in front of the eye caused by a shadow cast on the retina by vitreous debris. Most floaters are benign.
Just like you cannot age without getting wrinkles, you probably will get an eye floater at some point in time.
Eye floaters are infinitesimal strands of fiber, condensation or cells that exist in the vitreous (the jelly-like substance) of the eye.
Eye floaters are often described as black spots or squiggly strands in a patient's field of vision.
The blur is the result of debris from the vitreous of the eye casting a shadow on the retina.
Bilberry improves circulation in the blood vessels of the eye, helps maintain the integrity of capillaries, stabilizes collagen.
Floaters are dark dots, lines or particles that many people notice moving around in their vision as though floating in the eye.
Eye floaters are part of the aging process.
Vitreous Floaters are caused by a common age-related degeneration of the normally clear fluid in the eye. They are seen as moving shadows, strands and clouds in the vision.
Vitreous Opacities (floaters) are small particles suspended inside the human eye.

Farsightedness Info
Your vision is fine to see things far away but not up close.
mayoclinic.com/health/farsightedness/ds00527
medicinenet.com/farsightedness/article.htm
Glaucoma Info
Glaucoma is a condition where pressure builds in the fluid inside the eye. The pressure causes the fluid to press against and slowly destroy the optic nerve which transmits visual images to the brain.
The increase of pressure within the eye ball is called intraocular pressure. It is similar to high blood pressure in the body. The condition is also known as hypertension of the eye.
A certain amount of intraocular pressure is necessary but too much can cause damage to the eye and may result in vision loss.
Glaucoma is the major cause of blindness among adults today. One out of every eight blind persons is a victim of glaucoma.
Far-sighted persons are more prone to develop this disease than near sighted ones.
The first symptom of glaucoma is the appearance of halos or coloured rings round distant objects, when seen at night.
In this condition, the iris is usually pushed forward, and the patient often complains of constant pain in the region of the brow, near the temples and the cheeks.
Glaucoma can result in vision loss and blindness however, with early treatment, you can often save your vision.
There are two main types of glaucoma:
chronic open angle glaucoma
acute closed angle glaucoma
Chronic open-angle glaucoma develops gradually over a number of years. The normal pressure of the fluid in the eyes slowly rises. The drainage angle through which fluid leaves the eyeball does not function normally and the fluid does not drain properly. As the fluid builds up, the pressure inside the eyes increases, potentially causing irreversible damage to the optic nerve which damages vision.
In acute closed-angle glaucoma, the drainage angle becomes completely blocked. There is a sudden, very high increase in pressure inside the eyes that can quickly lead to blindness.
Another type of glaucoma is called normal tension glaucoma. The optic nerve is damaged, even though pressure inside the eyes is within the normal range.
If you start noticing blind spots in your vision, go to the eye doctor. The doctor uses a visual field test to examine your peripheral vision.
An applanation tonometry measures pressure on the eye. After he or she puts a drop of a local anesthetic on each cornea, the doctor puts a drop of fluorescein in each eye afterwhich he or she places a tonometer against the cornea to measure pressure in each eyeball. Another form of this test is air tonometry. The doctor examines the insides of your eyes with an ophthalmoscope that projects a very bright light onto the back of the eye to assess the condition of the optic nerves.
Gonioscopy is a test where the ophthalmologist places a special contact lens called a gonioscope on the cornea to examine the drainage angle of each eye for any changes or signs of blockage.
Glaucoma cannot be cured because damage to the optic nerve is irreversible. Eye surgery can make it easier for fluid to drain from the eye.
Caught early, glaucoma can usually be controlled with prescription eyedrops but if there's optic nerve damage, it's permanent.
Eye surgery called Peripheral Iridectomy and/ or eyedrops can neutralize it. You should get your eyes tested every two years and ask for a Tonometry Test for pressure within the eye and a Gonioscopy Prism Interior Eye Exam.
Eye-strain contributes to glaucoma.
Glaucoma is also caused by prolonged stress and is usually a reaction of adrenal exhaustion. The inability of the adrenal glands to produce aldosterone results in excessive loss of salt from the body and a consequent accumulation of fluid in the tissues.
In the region of the eyes, the excess fluid causes the eye ball to harden losing its softness and resilience.
The modern medical treatment for glaucoma is through surgery which relieves the internal pressure in the eye due to excess fluid. This, however, does not remove the cause of the presence of the excess fluid.
Even after the operation, there is no guarantee that the trouble will not recur, or that it will not affect the other eye.
Eat healthy foods.
Live a healthy lifestyle.
Glaucoma patients are usually deficient in vitamins A, B,C, protein,calcium and other minerals.
Dr. Michele Virno and his colleagues reported at a meeting of the Roman Opthalmological Society in Rome, Italy, that the average person weighing 150 pounds be given 7000 mg. of ascorbic acid, five times daily, acquired acceptable intraocular pressure within 45 days.

Lutein & Zeaxanthin: Eye Nutrients, Ocular Nutrition
Lutein is one of over 600 known carotenoids in green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale. It is an antioxidant.
Lutein is an antioxidant that can cross the blood-brain barrier and help heal the eyes of whatever is ailing them. You can eat it, buy lutein supplements or buy lutein eye drops. Some people claim they prevent eye diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration.
As an antioxidant, lutein also helps destroy free-radicals in other parts of the body.
Lutein also increases skin hydration and elasticity.

Macular Degeneration Info
Macular degeneration involves the gradual breakdown of cells in the macula, the part of the retina that's responsible for central vision. It usually happens as people age.
Laser surgery might help, some supplements might help but once your sight starts to go, there's usually nothing that can be done about it.
There are two general types of macular degeneration:
1.) With the dry form, the macula slowly thins until vision becomes dimmed.
2.) For the wet form, new blood vessels grow under the retina which bleed and leak fluid, creating a blind spot in the center of the field of vision.
A small blind spot appears in the middle of the field of vision and gets bigger over time.
An ophthalmologist uses an ophthalmoscope to view the retina. He or she has a test called the Amsler grid which looks like a checkerboard. If you have macular degeneration, the lines of the grid appear wavy or distorted.
Some cases of wet macular degeneration can be treated with laser surgery. The new blood vessels under the retina are zapped.
The Journal of the American Medical Assn. (Nov. 2/ 94) reported that two cartenoids can help prevent MD, namely vegetables high in lutein and Zeaxanthin. Look for supplements that contain these substances.
The American Academy of Opthamology warns people with macular degeneration or retinitis pigmentosa to only use low doses of Viagra. Some men have gone blind using Viagra.
Alcohol helps reduce the incidence of macular degeneration of the eyes.

Melanoma of the Eye/ Ocular, Uveal Melonoma
Melonoma is normally cancer of the skin but this type is cancer of the eye.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/uveal_melanoma, uveal melanoma is cancer (melanoma) of the colored part of your eye and the surrounding areas (uvea).
health.allrefer.com/health/melanoma-of-the-eye-info.html
jhu.edu/wctb/coms/, collaborative ocular melanoma study.
Nearsightedness/ Myopia
If you are nearsighted, your eyes focus incorrectly, making distant objects appear blurred. Someone with myopia tends to squint when viewing faraway objects. Myopia comes from two Greek words: myein, meaning "shut," and ops, meaning "eye."
Nearsightedness is partially genetic but partially lifestyle. The more formal education you get, the more likely you are to be nearsighted because of all the reading you do.
Computer use contributes to myopia.
Too much nearsighted work at a young age as with reading can damage far vision because it doesn't get developed.

Retinal Detachment Info
The retina is a thin nerve membrane at the back of your eye that senses light and sends images to your brain.
It can tear through physical activities and accidents. After that, the tear can cause fluid to collect under the retina and may cause the retina to detach. The retina can either tear or fully detach.
There is retinal detachment laser surgery.

Styes Info
Styes appear like bumps around the eyes. They are infections, usually caused by the staphylococcal bacteria. They affect the little glands in the eyelids. They are small abscesses.
A chalazion is another type of stye in the eye. Even though it is not considered serious, it often requires drainage by a doctor.
The best treatment for styes is to apply warm, moist compresses on the eyes as often as needed. This moistens the membrane enough such that the pus in the abscess drains spontaneously.
If you can't achieve this through cold compresses, you might have to go to a doctor to lance it. Most styes drain spontaneously on their own.
Tear Ducts Info
The eyes are lubricated by tears. The tear glands of the eyes constantly produce them to lubricate the eyes then they are drained away into the nose by the tear ducts.
The most common problem with tear ducts is that they are often not fully developed at birth so that the tears can't drain properly. This causes the tear ducts to swell. It could bet infected. Most blocked tear ducts open up by themselves in the first few months of life.
If your tear ducts get blocked as an adult, try massaging them with a warm, moist compresses several times a day to gently help them open up. If the tear ducts become red and swollen, see a doctor. He or she will prescribe antibiotic drops.
Worm's Eye/ Worm Eye Parasite
