Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Ophthalmic Technology is one of the first comprehensive texts written specifically for ophthalmic medical assistants (OMAs). Edited by an ophthalmic medical assistant and an ophthalmologist, with its expert contributors drawn from the same two groups, the book is an ideal core text for courses training OMAs and an excellent study guide for both the written and practical sections of the tests for OMA certification. It is also useful as a reference source and skill sharpener for the already certified or practicing ophthalmic medical assistant.The book begins by reviewing basic ocular anatomy, physiology, pathology, and treatment modalities. The latter portion of the text covers specific examination techniques and procedures that are often performed by the ophthalmic medical assistant, including tonometry, opticianry, retinoscopy, refractometry, visual perimetry, contact lens fitting, ophthalmic photography, ultrasonography, and clinical assessment of strabismus. Other chapters review the general medical knowledge relevant to the ophthalmic assistant, provide helpful guidelines for handling ocular emergencies, and discuss the liabilities and limitations of the ophthalmic medical assistant.
