The series of patient information brochures was recently reviewed, updated to reflect current knowledge and practices, and rewritten in simple language to appeal to a broader audience and people with low literacy skills. The 10 new brochures are written in plain language using a question-and-answer format, include simple graphics and large fonts, include glossaries to explain complex terms and follow a standard design template. They are available in both languages, and while they are distributed primarily through the CNIB, they may be purchased from the COS at reduced cost for members. They can also be downloaded from the COS website. The following topics are covered: Diabetes and the Eye; Macular Degeneration; Strabismus; Retinal Detachment; Cataracts; Amblyopia; Laser Surgery of the Eye; Glaucoma; Floaters and Flashing Lights; and Eye Safety.
