Hugh Taylor has just written a book called “Opening Eyes; Preventer of Blindness.” It tells the story of the work we have done over the years on eye care and the causes of blindness. Hugh Taylor is a past Vice President of IAPB and a Regional Chair for the Western Pacific.

The book covers conditions such as trachoma and river blindness, the effect of UV-B and smoking on the eye, work with WHO and in developing areas, with IAPB and as President of the ICO, and the work on Indigenous eye health and trying to “Close the gap for vision”.

The book is available to order online in hard copy, as an eBook and as an Audiobook. The audio book was recorded by his daughter, Phoebe. The cost only reflects the production and services charges.
