Dear Mr. Brady,
I was looking through my copy of your 5th edition of, A Singular View, and once again realized just how much it helped me in 1996 when I lost my right eye at the age of forty-two to cancer. I went on to become a paramedic-firefighter, and still serve my community today. I wanted to let you know that I am lending my copy to a friend whom recently lost her eye, I just know, it will help her, as it did me.
Respectfully,
Deborah B., Lusy, Maryland.

W. Randy Trawnik, Dallas Eye Prosthetics.


"Frank Brady's book, A Singular View, is truly an eye-opener; no humor intended. People with binocular vision, myself among them, are blissfully unaware of the alarming difficulties faced daily after just losing sight in one eye Brady's "big brother" manner of writing is comforting and optimistic."

"This is perhaps the single best source of information for those who have lost sight in one eye, as well as for anyone who must lend support to, or who simply wants to better understand the unique challenges and opportunities of, those facing life with a 'singular view.'

Mr. Brady is uniquely qualified to write such a book. As someone who is both a scientist and practitioner of the "art of seeing with one eye," he has reviewed and clearly explained things both technical and deeply personal. The result is a book that is educational, compassionate, and even entertaining--and one that should be read by anyone affected by the loss of vision in one eye."

Integrated Orbital Implants, Bio-eye®
San Diegeo, CA.

 


"This book covers the entire depth perception subject and is must reading for the new prosthetic eye patient."

Gordon Kolberg, Kolberg Ocular Prosthetics
San Diego, CA.

Dear Mr. Brady: I would appreciate receiving the book [A Singular View] and hearing from you as to whether you can assist my client at his trial.

Dear Mr. Brady: I have a copy of your book, "A Singular View", at my office and have found it very valuable. I work for the Texas Commission for the Blind as a Children's Caseworker. Each year I have several children who for some reason have a serious problem with just one eye. Many of these children have a serious eye injury.

I thoroughly enjoyed your book and would appreciate it if you would let me know how I could obtain additional copies to distribute to my clients.

Renee Robinson, VHC Caseworker
Texas Commission for the Blind


Thank you for sending a copy of "A Singular View". I feel that a few of our patients will benefit greatly from reading it.

Ben T. Kawasaki, DDS

I recently read your book "A Singular View" and enjoyed it so much that I would like to have a copy of my own. IN May of this year I lost sight in my left eye due to an industrial accident. I'm fifty-one years old and your book has helped me cope with the loss.

Woolf Eye Clinic [of Mesa, Arizona] let me read their copy and they thought I might be able to purchase one for myself from you.

I appreciate you taking the time to write this book, as I know it will be helpful to others with this problem.

Thank you!

Dear Mr. Brady, I have recently had the opportunity to read your book, "A Singular View". I feel it is of excellent benefit to any monocular patient and am interested in purchasing additional copies for our patients who face enucleation.

Frank B. Brady has written a unique book: A Singular View. Brady is known to aviation people everywhere for his pioneering work in instrument landing system development.

He [Brady] applied his engineering talents to devising techniques and tools to compensate. The Degree of his success may be measured by the fact that he is able to fly an airplane again, drive a car, and participate in sports.

Members of the "one eyed community" find very little literature of practical use to them in learning to live with their handicap (or as Frank Brady says, their "inconvenience"). This excellent volume fills the need admirably. His story and his advice cannot but give a great lift to those experiencing the same difficulty.

Dear Colonel,

A copy of the book, "A Singular View" was passed to me by Colonel Ed Huyck at OSD.

This is an excellent how-to-do-it book, set in large type and written in simple, non-technical language, explaining to the individual who has recently lost sigh of an eye the many ways in which he can cope with a world oriented to people who have ordinary binocular vision. This ranges from such ordinary activities as restaurant dining to the more ambitious but less likely attempts at flying an airplane a la Wiley Post.

I recommend that it be in the library of every military hospital as well as every VA, USPHS, and civilian hospital that has a library.

Sincerely,

Budd Appleton, MD

Chief, Ophthalmology Service


I recently lost the vision in my right eye and was given a copy of your book, "A Singular View". I found it both interesting and helpful. Especially useful to me was the explanation of exactly what I've lost (such as depth perception). I found that recognizing the problems made them much easier to deal with.

Thank you,

Connie Wolfe

Dear Mr. Brady;

This is my New year's resolution- to thank you ever so much for your superb treasure; "A Singular View". I thought that I had mastered the art of seeing with one eye until I read your book and discovered many small, but important things to do.

All the Best ,

Henry Burroughs

An excellent reference book.
