Recent Advances in Full Spectrum of Optometric Practice

Description

An optometrist is a primary health care professional who specialises in vision and eye care. Optometrists are medical doctors, however they are not physicians. They specialise on routine vision care and the prescription of eyeglasses and contacts. The interior and exterior anatomy of the eye is examined by an optometrist. This book is thorough and logically organised, covering the whole scope of optometric practise in one volume. To address core themes likely to be encountered in clinical practise, this book covers the principles of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, investigative techniques, and clinical care of common eye disorders in a concise manner. This book serves as a reference for healthcare professionals who measure vision, prescribe and fit lenses to improve vision, and diagnose and treat various eye illnesses. A useful aid for students and the newly qualified practitioner, while providing a rapid reference guide for the more experienced clinician.
