A surgeon’s tour of the organ you look through but never at.

How much do you really know about your eyes?

Why do we see in colour? What causes cataracts? Can glaucoma steal sight silently? What happens when the retina is damaged? And how much of what we hear about eyesight is actually true?

The human eye is one of nature’s most extraordinary creations. Yet many of us know surprisingly little about how it works.

In Have You Seen Your Eye?, Dr. Akbar Saleem takes readers on a fascinating journey into the science of human vision.

From the anatomy and remarkable functioning of the eye to cataracts, glaucoma, corneal diseases, retinal disorders and modern treatments, complex medical subjects become accessible, engaging and surprisingly fascinating.

Written by an experienced ophthalmologist, this book combines medical knowledge, practical explanations and intriguing questions to help readers understand the organ they use every waking moment but rarely stop to examine.

Whether you are a curious reader, a patient, a student or someone who values the gift of sight, this book will change the way you understand your eyes.

Because understanding your vision is the first step towards protecting it.
