It organizes words into chapters by sectors and provides origins of ophthalmic words for easy recall and interesting reading. The fourth edition of this Dictionary is well illustrated and written with easy to understand definitions. The book is oriented for fast delivery of meaning and definitions, with the emphasis on simplicity and practicality. It is definitely not a reference tome to give impressive weight to an ophthalmic word and syndrome in a costly compendium. We have prepared a practical book whose function, at the bottom line, is to assist in communication and to help develop vocabulary. A new chapter on refractive surgery has been added to this rapidly expanding subspecialty. Imaging words such as OCT have been added. This ophthalmic dictionary is useful for ophthalmologist and ophthalmic Assistant.
