About the Book

This Dictionary of "Visual Science and Related Clinical Terms" has been completely updated to include more than 400 new terms on optics and refractive surgery. It contains a convenient appendix on key therapeutic drugs, listed by both generic and trade names to aid in the quick retrieval of information. Emphasis is placed on succinct definition rather than on encyclopedic elaboration. This solid reference has earned recognition among optometrists, students, paraoptometric assistants, and opticians as a comprehensive listing of ophthalmic terms used in daily practice. Included with the book is a CD-ROM, containing the entire text, which provides easy searching and quick reference in a conveniently portable format.

Review :
"An invaluable aid to professions and industry in the field, brought well up to date with some 2,000 new terms added since the last edition a decade ago... All those concerned with ophthalmic instruments, vision, related clinical procedures and lens manufacture will need this splendid book."Optical Practitioner
editors expanded this edition to reflect a greater emphasis in clinical eye and vision care. A special emphasis in including terms related to ocular disease and therapeutic pharmacologic agents was planned. In my opinion, the editors met their goal of expanding very successfully!"Optometric Education
who deals with the visual and optical sciences needs this dictionary. This text has been and continues to be the criterion in its field."Journal of the American Osteopathic Colleges of Ophthalmology & Otolaryngology
invaluable source of material for both ophthalmic students and practitioners."Eyenews
in specialty area from a great variety of colleges, institutions, and health systems have been asked for appropriate input. It doesn t get any better than that. No wonder these definitions are so good and so reliable. It is hard to imagine how professionals in this field of visual science or clinical eye care, or even anyone needing to know the true meaning of these terms, could get along without this dictionary."From the Foreword by James R. Gregg, O.D., D.O.S., Professor Emeritus, Southern California College
Dictionary of Visual Science is an impressive volume of terminology related to vision science and examination of the eyes... (It) comes through brilliantly. The definitions are accurate and to the point. The terms are easy to find, and the scope of terms is extensive across fields."Journal of the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry
