Secure TransactionBook Description
Beginning with an illustrated description of ocular anatomy, the book sweeps you into the workings of vision with hardly a blink, where you'll learn what happens when light meets the eye. But life is never perfect, and sometimes the eye isn't either. You'll get a good overview of disorders and trauma, from lids to optic nerves. The all-important red eye has a section all its own, including symptoms, signs, what's an emergency and what's not. A chapter on eye symptoms and their potential causes will help you understand patients' complaints.
New to the Second Edition:
- A chapter on refractive errors and their correction, including a section on glasses and contact lenses
- New technology topics including optical coherence tomography, scanning laser tomography, wavefront analysis and more
- Updated information on medications and refractive surgery
- Includes over 65 figures and 10 tables
Written by Janice K. Ledford, an eyecare professional with over 26 years of experience, The Little Eye Book: A Pupil's Guide to Understanding Ophthalmology, Second Edition is perfect for anyone who works in the eye care industry or with patients, but isn't an ophthalmologist.
