Synopsis

Completely updated, revised and redesigned, Michel Millodot's classic Dictionary of Optometry and Visual Science continues to be an essential classic text for all optometrists in training and in practice, and for all those involved in visual science and in the optical industry.

The Dictionary has lost none of the features that have made it so successful in the past: the succinct understandable definitions, a wealth of tables and illustrations, and the practical clinical advice.

New for the sixth edition:

Many new entries covering ocular pathology, ocular pharmacology and therapeutics; ocular anatomy and basic sciences; investigative techniques; psychology of vision and visual perception.

Totally updated to include the latest information on refractive surgery, co-managed care and contact lenses.

A fresh new colour approach to help you find the information quickly.

Uniquely blending the best features of a textbook, a dictionary and a practical handbook, Dictionary of Optometry and Visual Science will remain a cornerstone for all those providing eye care and for those providing eye care, engaged in visual science, or entering the optical industry.

About this title

Review

This dictionary has its place as a convenient reference for the optometry student, the vision scientist, and the practicing clinician. It is not as thorough as a text dedicated to the given subject of inquiry, nor is it intended to be. Its purpose is to provide concise information about a wide range of optometric terms, and it accomplishes that purpose well. In it, the reader will find much more then a dictionary and quite possibly what he or she is seeking.
