I would be recommend this book to anyone interested in learning much just about sightlessness in cats. The book is fantastic - actually easy to see and packed with information including a useful gloss of veterinary terms. I've found it helpful in explaining much just about my blind cat's eye problems and in advising me on how I can do life as easy as possible for her.
