LEARN THE LANGUAGE OF OPHTHALMOLOGY before your rotation. . . Ophthalmology: A Brief Review for Nurses Medical Students, and Medical Technicians is a succinct primer for all members of the ophthalmic healthcare team. Listening to the digital audio of this book is a fast and efficient review or introduction to ophthalmology. Learning ophthalmology begins with learning the language of ophthalmology. Therefore, this text is laid out in a simple format with a disease and its definition and possible treatments. This text was originally written as a "Brief Review" for nurses studying for the Certification Examination for Ophthalmic Registered Nurses (CEORN), addressing many subjects listed by the NCBORN 2007 Handbook; and serves as an excellent introduction or brief review to ophthalmology. This and other works also available in Digital Audio at www.ApolloAudiobooks.com.

The Basic Bookshelf for Eyecare Professionals is a series that provides fundamental and advanced material with a clinical approach to clinicians and students. A special effort was made to include information needed for the certification exams in ophthalmic and optometric assisting, low vision, surgical assisting, opticianry, and contact lens examiners. The Certified Ophthalmic Medical Technologist Exam Review Manual is a review book designed for those preparing for the COMT® certification exam. This manual offers some 600 multiple-choice questions on every topic listed in the test criteria, including advanced levels of tonometry, visual fields, color vision, clinical optics, motility, photography, pharmacology, and general medical knowledge. Material that is unique to COMTs, such as microbiology and special instruments & techniques, are also covered. Explanatory answers, often with supporting illustrations and tables as well as the reference from which the material was obtained, are offered to round out your study experience. Suggested study texts are listed, along with an appendix on how to take a practical examination.

The book aims to increase the knowledge and skills of the ophthalmic practitioner at any level. Each section ends with a reflective / question section allowing the reader to consider their own practice and learning needs.Areas covered include, anatomy & physiology, a dynamic range of ophthalmic conditions with their associated investigations, management and care. Further chapters include the visual sciences, pharmocology and advice for practitioners and mentors alike.

Covering essential information on nursing the veterinary ophthalmic patients, this illustrated guide includes advice on first aid and common ocular problems. It contains three useful appendices on ocular emergencies, causes of blindness and suppliers of ophthalmic equipment.

Whilst this book is primarily compiled for nurses who care for patients with eye disease, it will be useful to other health professionals who are also interested in the holistic ca re of such patients, e.g. opticians, orthop tists, social workers and junior medical staff. The care is presented as a systematic approach to the more common actual and potential problems. Typically, a problem is identified with a desired outcome and the nursing interventions possible to achieve this. Evaluation has not been included as this is dependent on an identified time limit for outcomes to be achieved which is individual to each patient. Part One covers the general aspects of ophthalmie care in the various situations where patients are nursed, e.g. casualty, theatre, wards. Part Two is based on a medical model, where each section of the eye is studied separately; the applied physiology of that part of the eye; the more common conditions affecting it; the possible medical management of the condition and the nursing care of the patient taking into account the medical prescription. The list of medical conditions is not exhaus tive, and only a general guideline of medical management is given as far as it influences nursing care. A list of widely available books for further reference to ocular pathology and medical management is given in the Appendix.
