A special effort was made to cover information needed for the certification exams in ophthalmic and optometric assisting, low vision, surgical assisting, opticianry, and contact lenses. This little book pays big dividends. You will find 210 abbreviations and over 2,300 ophthalmic words in this up-to-the-minute glossary compiled by the editor-in-chief of Ocular Surgery News, the leading clinical newspaper in ophthalmology and optometry. While other eyecare word books overload their pages with obsolete expressions, Latin and Greek phrases, obscure diseases, and other medical terms that you will never have to use, Joseph Hoffman has streamlined his word selection so you get all the current terminology you will need on the job.
