“As an athlete and a coach, I have long had a keen appreciation for how important our eyes are to almost everything we do. Whether you’re a writer or gardener, a grad student or grandparent, this clear and helpful book gives you all the information necessary to get peak performance from your eyes.”-Dr. LeRoy Walker, past president of the U.S. Olympic Committee and member of the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame “Although this book is written to provide such information to [patients], it also serves as yet another important resource for workers in eye care who need to be able to explain things in a simple and succinct way. Why not require that it be read by all who will have to deal with patients, be they ophthalmic assistants, photographers, ophthalmic nurses, triage nurses, receptionists, schedulers, or residents? For many, this book will simply be a review; for others, it will be a concise, informative introduction. A copy of the book might be available in the waiting areas of the clinics for patients and their families and in the nursing, ophthalmic technician, and scheduling areas for easy reference. . . . It is a quick read and I highly recommend it.” - Leslie Weingeist France (Archives of Opthamology) "[A] concise reference book to educate readers and help them get the most out of their professional eye consultations." - Janice Flahiff (Library Journal)
