Navigating the World with Impaired Vision: Stories of Resilience and Adaptation

In The Mind's Eye, renowned neurologist Oliver Sacks explores the fascinating ways in which the brain perceives and interprets visual information, and the remarkable adaptations that occur when this process is disrupted. Through captivating case studies, Sacks introduces us to individuals who have lost the ability to recognize faces, sense three-dimensional space, read, or even see, yet manage to navigate the world and communicate with others despite these challenges.

As Sacks delves into the complexities of the visual system and the brain's incredible plasticity, he reveals the myriad ways in which humans are capable of rising to the challenges posed by visual impairments. The Mind's Eye is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the brain's extraordinary ability to adapt and compensate in the face of adversity.

‘Oliver Sacks is a perfect antidote to the anaesthetic of familiarity. His writing turns brains and minds transparent.’ – Observer
