Excellent- More about Climate Change and Eye Disease: Eye Health and Blindness in a Hostile Environment
Climate change has a significant impact on eye disease and eye health, affecting organizations, charities, and healthcare systems. Scott Fraser's book examines the direct and indirect threats to eye health, including changing insect vectors, trauma from extreme weather events, crop failure, malnutrition, animal and plant migration, and the increased burden of chronic eye diseases on health care systems. It also reflects on the ways in which eye care, ophthalmology, optometry, pharmaceutical, and medical device companies contribute to the climate footprint.

Climate change has a significant impact on eye disease and eye health, and Scott Fraser's book examines the direct and indirect threats to eye health from climate change. Fraser begins by providing a primer on climate science and climate change, highlighting the environmental mechanisms that affect our health. He then looks in detail at the direct and indirect threats to eye health from climate change, including changing insect vectors, trauma from extreme weather events, crop failure, malnutrition, animal and plant migration, and the increased burden that climate-induced chronic eye diseases are placing on health care systems. The book also reflects on the ways in which eye care, ophthalmology, optometry, pharmaceutical and medical device companies all contribute to the climate footprint themselves. This book will be a great resource for students and clinicians of ophthalmology, optometry and allied eye care professions, as well as climate scientists, researchers, policy makers, charities, and NGOs working in related fields of environment and health.
