Both students and practitioners will use this guide as a valuable reference at all stages of project development and analysis. The first section utilizes classic research studies in ophthalmology and optometry to emphasize the benefits of strong research. The second section applies the fundamental principles of epidemiology to eye care with a case study method on glaucoma screening. The third section details the design and implementation of a research study. The final section shows how to apply epidemiologic principles in vision screening and survey research.
