I am an Ophthalmic Assistant and find this book to be a treasure. I use it if I am reading and need more detailed information and to know how to pronounce some ophthalmic terms. This book is written in an easy to understand format. I write referring letters to patients Doctor's and find this book invaluable when needing to know the correct spelling of a word.

Excellent Eye Medical Resource

I am completing certification as a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI). This dictionary is excellent for review of anatomy, basic terminology, medical abbreviations, eye diseases, AND related eye diseases. For example, you may look up Retinitis Pigmentosa, find the complete description, and then find a "see also" list containg Laurence-Moon-Biedl Syndrome, and Refsum's Disease.
Additionally the book contains a list of common abbreviations and acronyms as well as a list organizations and associations. The latter is technical and obviously geared towards doctors, but would still prove useful parents of affected children will appreciate a copy of their child's condition and any resources. There are, however, other organizations like NAPVI that would be especially helpful to parents and TVIs that are not listed in this book since it is meant to be used as a medical dictionary.

I have personally used this resource for the past 20 years and it remains one of the "must haves" for clinical research coordinators who are trained through Ophthalmic Research Training Services.
It's also a fantastic tool for the CRA'S/ Monitors as well, who may be new to ophthalmology or need a little review from time to time, or just to make sure their spelling is correct.
