An ideal resource for anyone involved in eye care - students, opticians, optometrists, and ophthalmologists - this resource provides comprehensive coverage of the diagnosis and management of common eye and vision problems. Key topics include procedures for myopia control or reduction, as well as the co-management of refractive surgery and ocular disease. This book is also an excellent guide to detecting systemic diseases that can have an effect on the visual system.

• Complete coverage of key optometric skills, including:
• how to take a comprehensive ocular and health history
• how to thoroughly investigate ocular health status
• how to perform a thorough refractive and binocular vision examination
• how to prescribe corrective lenses and/or vision therapy
• how to co-manage refractive surgery and ocular disease.
• Comprehensive discussions of the theory behind each optometric procedure.
• An emphasis on current non-surgical methods of myopia control and reduction, as well as methods of caring for patients with impaired vision.
• A logical organization, divided into three main parts: anomalies of refraction and binocular vision, optometric examination, and diagnosis and management.
• In-depth coverage of topics that include: objective refraction, subjective refraction, binocular vision examination, corneal topography measurement, ophthalmic lenses, geriatric optometry, vision impairment, control of myopia, and management of ocular diseases in a primary care optometric practice.
