Cataract

A cataract is a painless, cloudy area in the lens of the eye that blocks the passage of light to the retina. The retina is the nerve layer at the back of the eye. The nerve cells in the retina detect light entering the eye and send nerve signals to the brain about what the eye sees. Because cataracts block this light, they can cause vision problems.

The Quest For Immortality - Book Review

In this book, the author offers a vision of human aging and longevity that is more realistic and far more promising than the false images and messages about aging. This book also gives one much better understanding of how and why we age, an expanded awareness of disease and death, and a greater appreciation of health and longevity. More important , we learn from this book that aging is far more than a biological process of decline and decay that culminates in death.

Dutiful Daughters - Book Review

This unusual book of first-person essays by women writers is timely and engaging. Appearing just as policymakers reassess Medicare and Social Security, it documents the private side of aging and caregiving. Each of the 22 stories told here is different: some contributors tell of how caring for their aging parents deepened their relationships or afforded opportunities for late-life forgiveness; others explore loss and sorrow. As a result, this is a wonderfully varied exploration of the complicated emotional and spiritual issues that emerge for both parents and daughters as their bodies and relationships age.
