The Mind's Eye / Oliver Sacks 263 p.

This was March's Monday Matters book group selection. I thoroughly enjoyed it, as I have everything else I've read by Dr. Sacks. We meet here patients who through disease or accident have lost some part of their vision, although their eyes still function normally. They adjust to greater or lesser degrees, depending on their brain's plasticity and, it seems to me, important external circumstances such as therapists, supportive family, and let's face it, money. The latter part of the book deals with Sacks' own bout with ocular melanoma. It's interesting and powerful, but feels like 2 separate books with one cover.
