Visual Development, Diagnosis, and Treatment of the Pediatric Patient 1st Edition (2006) by Robert H. Duckman OD PDF

Description

Written by highly experienced clinicians, this volume is the first text to integrate basic concepts of vision development with clinical diagnosis and treatment of pediatric vision disorders. Coverage begins with a thorough review of the normal course of vision development, focusing on the years from birth through preschool. The next section presents a comprehensive, step-by-step clinical methodology for evaluating visual function. Subsequent chapters discuss treatment strategies, including parameters for prescribing lenses for children, notes on when not prescribing is appropriate, options in strabismus and amblyopia, and visual therapy for very young children. More than 200 illustrations complement the text.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Dr. Duckman, author and SUNY Optometry professor, requires you to purchase this book. However, there are some in the library if you don’t want to spend the money on it. Since I will be pursuing Pediatric Optometry, I chose to purchase this book. I found it very helpful. Some of the chapters read exactly how he lectures, has if this book is his script and Room 103 is his stage. :)But it’s a great reference, with more information than you are given in class. If you are planning on having Ped’s be a large part of you practice someday, this is a smart purchase.Just to give you a heads up, almost every chapter is written by a SUNY Professor. Dr. Duckman didn’t have to look far to find authors. It’s awesome!

⭐Great addition to Pediatrics for the Optometrist course as a second year optometry student.
