SIGHT AND LIFE is dedicated to the prevention and eradication of xerophthalmia and all forms of vitamin A deficiencies that impair children's health in developing countries. The primary aim of this handbook is to present the knowledge contained in existing lecture and pictorial material in a form practitioners can put to direct use. It offers a very practical approach to dealing with those problems that are of concern to health and nutrition workers in the vitamin A front line, especially those in the fields of child survival and protection of vision. It is an information tool that presents the complexities in a clear and understandable way. The revised edition reflects the great advances made in recent years in the understanding of vitamin A's functions in virtually every part of the body. Topics include: Vitamin A in Nature and Health, Food Sources, Xerophthalmia, Epidemiology, Mortality and Morbidity, Other Effects of Vitamin A Deficiency, Retinoids in General Medicine, Control, Further Reading, and Glossary.
