Description
This book gives concise coverage of the routine eye examination which is the central part of the optometrist's work. From this examination can lead all manner of supplementary tests and decisions for patient management. Divided into three parts, the book covers: examination of the eye (aims, background, methods); oculo-refractive correction (objective and subjective assessment of corrections, prescribing, special patients); and illustrative case reports (patient's working conditions, previous prescriptions, errors to avoid, difficult cases). This book is intended for pre-registration (graduate) optometrists preparing for professional qualifying examinations, dispensing opticians, orthoptists, experienced optometrists, optometry undergraduates, and trainee ophthalmologists.
