In fact, the overview of OCT use is an excellent starting point for anyone wishing to develop their OCT skills. Ideal for students and practitioners alike, this well-organised, accessibly written optometry reference takes a simple, step-by-step approach to describing the commonly used primary eye care procedures you'll encounter.

While comparable to other books in the field, this one stands out due to its strong online library of photos and videos. This book certainly attains its goals as set out in the Preface and would be recommended to optometry students, residents, or practitioners wishing to review their clinical practice. So much so that my book finally disintegrated early last year, So, I was more than pleased to receive the latest (5th) edition recently and am delighted that the book and a whole host of extra content can be accessed on my iPad, something I find incredibly useful in practice, whether reminding myself of something, explaining something to a patient or helping a student. It helps to simplify a lot of concepts that other books/literature often make unnecessarily complicated.

I especially liked the communication videos, showing examples of history taking for a range of patients and how best to explain concepts such as cataract. Clinical procedures In Primary Eye Care is perhaps 'the' interactive textbook for students of optometry to supplement their didactic and clinical education. CLOs as well as optometrists should find the slit-lamp images and videos of, for example, fluorescein fits of a range of rigid lenses (figure 4) and dry eye assessment (including the latest TFOS DEWS2 information) of great interest. You’ll find essential instructions for mastering the procedures you need to know, including recent technical advances in the field. To help keep you keep up to date in a changing world with ever-increasing use of modern imaging technologies, there is an extensive section focusing on OCT use and interpretation (figure 5), including newer developments such as OCT angiography (figure 6).

Understand how to treat today's aging optometric patient population through a brand-new section on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), in addition to numerous suggestions on how to adapt some tests for older patients. Features coverage of changes in the eye due to high myopia, and expounds the need for myopia control techniques. This includes high quality videos demonstrating a wide range of techniques, ranging from soft lens removal (figure 1), retinoscopy (figure 2), and, the student’s favourite, focimetry (figure 3), through to more advanced techniques such as headset BIO and gonioscopy.The extensive library of images of ocular disease is impressive (figure 8) and will be an absolute boon in discussing findings with patients in the future. Clinical Procedures in Primary Eye Care helps you master all of the knowledge you need to support today's growing optometric patient population.
