Ophthalmic terms and procedures are well defined, concise, and easy to understand. The book mentions being sensitive to individuals and their visual status but is missing a specific discussion of how to get people with low vision to their local resources. Each chapter has study icons to indicate information needed for certification examinations of the different levels of ophthalmic personnel. Key points are listed at the beginning of each chapter. I found all this helpful in relating the different procedures to the technician's role and the patient's needs.
Figures are very important for conveying ideas and tying together concepts.
Unfortunately, in this book many of the figures are hard to see and read. In addition, the pictures in this book are appropriate but are dark and at times difficult to see. All rights reserved.
