Email: Judy Brewer & EOWG list Subject: Demography Date: 20.viii.98. By far the best and most up to date account of the epidemiology of blindness is to be found in the recently published 'The Epidemiology of Eye Disease' edited by Gordon J. Johnson, Darwin C. Minassian and Robert Weale, Chapman & Hall Medical, London, Weinheim, New York, Tokyo, Melbourne, Madras, 1998. ISBN 0 412 64310 3 (hardback) 0 412 84500 8 (paperback) Published in the USA by Lippincott-Raven Publishers, Philadelphia. Library of Congress Card No. 97-75070. I'm sending this to you by snail so that you can have a quick look at Chapter 1. "Prevalence, Incidence and Distribution of Visual Impairment"; if you're satisfied with this as a basis we will then have to interpret it by produce economic bloc figures by age; we can then apply these to market data. I am also sending you by snail EU data on disability. This is more vague in some ways than the eye stuff but more useful in market terms. I thought, in any case, you might like to take a quick look at "Approach to IT and Communications Industry into the Needs of People with Disabilities"; it's not formally published yet so don't quote it but as the tables are not primary material you can quote them. Both of these are mine so please send them back when you've finished with them. Yours KEVIN CAREY
