Index
"This is a great primer on the primary care of optometric patients.
It would not be possible to go into any great depth on any one
topic, but this book provides a comprehensive overview of the
entire spectrum of the field of optometry. It is written in an easy
to read format that will enable students and busy practitioners to
quickly access information of interest. There is no other single
book available that can compare to the wealth of information in
this one. It is a very worthwhile contribution and a book that
every optometry student and optometrist should have."
