This is a simple minded question, and I realise there are complicated issues, but does anyone know of estimates, preferably UK based, of health care, personal and social costs associated with blindness, and associated with major burns - any references or websites gratefully welcomed. With thanks in advance, will return collated info to senders if wished or post on Mailbase web site if permitted.
