This is an easy-to-understand introduction to the field of eye care. It is written with the non-physician in mind, covering the basic facts but not the heavy details. Beginning with an illustrated description of ocular anatomy, it continues into the workings of vision where it explains what happens when light meets the eye. Red eye has its own section, including symptoms, signs and what's an emergency and what's not. A chapter on eye symptoms and their potential causes is intended to help with understanding patients' complaints. It also covers testing, taking a history, checking vision or pupils and giving eye medication, and answers questions about eye surgery and medical treatment. This is designed for anyone who works in the eye care industry or with patients, but isn't an ophthalmologist.
