Ophthalmic Dictionary And Vocabulary Builder For Eye Care Professionals

The Vocabulary Builder is a unique, creative and original book. It organizes words into chapters by sectors and provides origins of ophthalmic words for easy recall and interesting reading. The fourth edition of this Dictionary is well illustrated and written with easy to understand definitions. The book is oriented for fast delivery of meaning and definitions, with the emphasis on simplicity and practicality. It is definitely not a reference tome to give impressive weight to an ophthalmic word and syndrome in a costly compendium. We have prepared a practical book whose function, at the bottom line, is to assist in communication and to help develop vocabulary. A new chapter on refractive surgery has been added to this rapidly expanding subspecialty. Imaging words such as OCT have been added. This ophthalmic dictionary is useful for ophthalmologist and ophthalmic Assistant.

"Designed as combined vocabulary builder and reference dictionary of ophthalmic terms, the text is color-coded and divided into five parts: basic science; refraction, spectacles and contact lenses; disorders of the eye; surgery of the eye; and ophthalmic tests and devises. Features new to this edition include updated chapters; the addition of terms to reflect advances in surgical technique or technology -- for example, the excimer laser; and 30 new illustrations. The book is aimed at ophthalmologists' surgery personnel -- secretaries and ophthalmic assistants -- optometry students, and optometry office personnel."--Publisher description.
