2: The Vulnerable Eye
The eye, because of its complexity - it is both a mechanical device and a living organism - is particularly vulnerable to disease and disorder. As a result, more than 70 per cent of us have defective vision of one kind or another and this year, 12,000 of us are likely to lose our sight completely, joining the 120,000 already registered blind.
In the second of three programmes, Tony Van den Bergh discusses the major causes of blindness - cataracts and glaucoma - and other eye diseases; joins the operating team at a London hospital to learn about the latest eye-surgery techniques; and examines some of the developments and current research in the field of ophthalmology.
