Ophthalmic Dictionary and Vocabulary Builder (Fourth Edition)
Por Harold A. Stein (Editor); Raymond M. Stein (Editor); Melvin I. Freeman (Editor); John S. Massare (Editor) "The Ophthalmic Dictionary and Vocabulary Builder for Eye Care Professionals depicts anatomy, physiology, optics, genetics, embryology, and basic computer terms, where ophthalmic medical terminology is rapidly proliferating, with etiological terminology frequently replacing long-standing descriptive terminology and even historical eponymy designations. Publisher has prepared a practical book whose function, at the bottom line, is to assist in communication and to help develop vocabulary. Major topics discussed include anatomy, optics, pharmacology, genetics, embryology, disorders of the cornea and conjunctiva, glaucoma, strabismus, disorders of the retina and vitreous, ocular tumors, systemic diseases and the eye, neuro-ophthalmology, cataract surgery, intraocular lenses, glaucoma surgery, corneal surgery, eyelid, lacrimal and orbital surgery, laser surgery, and retinal and vitreous surgery. A new chapter on refractive surgery has been added to this rapidly expanding subspecialty."

The Eye: Basic Sciences in Practice (Fifth Edition)
Por John V. Forrester; Andrew D. Dick; Paul G. McMenamin; Fiona Roberts; Eric Pearlman "The Eye has once again been fully updated in this new fifth edition. This textbook is aimed at all students and trainees, scientists and researchers, physicians and optometrists who wish to acquire a foundation in the basic sciences of ophthalmology and vision. This is a very broad field since it encompasses all aspects of the life sciences. Indeed, The Eye may also be of interest to established academic ophthalmologists and vision scientists who wish to get up to date with areas of knowledge which are not directly the remit of their clinical practice or research program. In its initial conception, The Eye was put together to fill a need for a single, readable, concise text which could be used by a widely diverse group of individuals dipping their toes into the ocean of knowledge that comprises the science behind ophthalmology and vision. This clearly includes the core disciplines of anatomy, embryology, and vegetative physiology of the eye and neurophysiology of vision. However, in order to gain knowledge relevant to disease processes and therapeutic interventions in the eye, broader information from other disciplines such as pathology, pharmacology, microbiology, genetics, and immunology is essential to a clear understanding."

The Ophthalmic Assistant (Eleventh Edition)
Por Harold A. Stein; Raymond M. Stein; Melvin I. Freeman; Rebecca Stein "The Ophthalmic Assistant provides reliable and competent information on eye care procedures, including visits to offices, clinics, and hospitals. Ophthalmic assistants must be familiar with sterile procedures, types of emergencies, and many technical aspects of eye care. This knowledge can increase the ophthalmic assistant’s efficiency, ensuring that all details of diagnostic workup and regimen are understood and carried out. Although The Ophthalmic Assistant emphasizes the paramedical functions of the ophthalmic assistant and not the secretarial duties, we recognize that both positions in a small office may have to be carried out by the same individual."

Brief History of Vision and Ocular Medicine
Por Wolfgang H. Vogel; Andreas Berke "The history and development of vision and ocular medicine over time always occurred within a framework of many other cultural events. Thus, it is important to understand these factors before one can appreciate how vision and ocular medicine were viewed and practiced at a particular time and in a particular region, and how both slowly progressed over the centuries.Ocular medicine is, and always has been, a part of medicine, and is influenced by its theoretical and practical principles, as well as its diagnostic and therapeutic practices. If the ancient people thought that diseases were caused by divine causes, then this was first applied to the body, but later on transferred to the eye. If medications proved beneficial to the body they would in turn be used to treat ocular problems.The state of scientific knowledge affected how vision was thought to occur and how ocular medicine could help to maintain healthy vision and how to restore normal sight when it became impaired. Only knowledge of the nature of light and its properties of refraction by different transparent objects allowed scientists to understand the optical processes which occur in the eye. ..."

Ophthalmology Secrets in Color (Fifth Edition)
Por Janice Gault "In putting together this book, my hope is that the question-and-answer “Socratic method” format recreates how a large portion of clinical medical education takes place, on rounds, in clinic, and in testing formats. I hope it answers questions you find when seeing patients in your practices daily and you can refer to it easily and often."

Visual Diagnosis and Care of the Patient with Special Needs
Por Mary Bartuccio; Dominick M. Maino; Marc B. Taub "Visual Diagnosis and Care of the Patient with Special Needs provides a thorough review of the eye and vision care needs of patients with special needs. This book gives you a better understanding of the most frequently encountered developmental and acquired disabilities seen in the eye care practitioner's office. These disabilities include patients with autism, brain injury, Fragile X syndrome and Down syndrome, as well as those with psychiatric illness, dual diagnosis, and more. The text discusses, in great detail, the visual issues inherent in these populations and their possible treatment. A group of authors with approximately 500 years of experience in the field of eye care and special populations have been brought together to develop this comprehensive reference. It may appear that this book is written primarily for eye care practitioners such as optometrists and ophthalmologists, while vision is the overriding topic, this book serves as an excellent resource for a multitude of professions including those engaged in occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech and language therapy, physiatry, social work, pediatric medicine, and special education."

BOOK CHAPTER 48 - Allied health personnel in ophthalmology

Chapter 48
Allied health personnel in ophthalmology
The Ophthalmic Assistant (Eleventh Edition)
Por Harold A. Stein; Raymond M. Stein; Melvin I. Freeman; Rebecca Stein "Visual eye care personnel have become defined by their educational background. Thus ophthalmologists and their assistants are referred to as ophthalmic medical personnel (OMP) . Personnel working in other visual fields, not under the direction of ophthalmology, are referred to as allied health personnel (AHP) . Optometry and ophthalmic registered nurses are AHP in Canada and the United States as they are independent of medicine and have authority over their allied personnel."

Chapter 50
Ophthalmic allied health personnel : Scope of practice
The Ophthalmic Assistant (Eleventh Edition)
Por Harold A. Stein; Raymond M. Stein; Melvin I. Freeman; Rebecca Stein "Ophthalmic medical personnel are classified as allied health personnel and are defined as individuals with training and responsibilities that support, supplement, and assist physicians, including ophthalmologists and other health professionals providing patient care. Ophthalmic medical personnel include, ophthalmic assistants, ophthalmic technicians, ophthalmic medical technologists, refractionists, orthoptists, optometric assistants, opticians, contact lens technicians, ophthalmic nurses, ophthalmic photographers, and others. Other allied health occupations include medical assistants, dental assistants, radiology technicians, and sonographers. Recently, to standardize the classification of allied healthcare workers globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) established a classification of the eye care profession: allied ophthalmic personnel (AOP)."

Sports Vision (Second Edition)
Por Graham B. Erickson "The role of visual performance in sports has received considerable attention over the years. With the increasing participation rates in sports and recreational activities, interest in vision care services for athletes has intensified among eye care practitioners and sports personnel. Sports vision can be defined as vision care and consultation designed to protect, correct, and enhance vision in order to make sports and athletic competition safe, enjoyable, and more successful. It encompasses a broad scope of professional skills, including the prevention and management of sport-related eye injuries, identification and management of sport-related concussion, determination and delivery of appropriate refractive correction, determination of appropriate protective eyewear, understanding of filters and their potential application in sports, assessment and remediation of functional vision inefficiencies, assessment of sport-specific vision skills, vision training to enhance visual performance, and consultation with athletes and other sports personnel. Vision is the guiding sense for most sports performance, and sports vision is one of many disciplines that can contribute to the achievement of peak performance."
