Reviews

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

⭐I am becoming an ophthalmic assistant and plan on buying this book. since it was recommended by my professor. it has vocabs that can be used daily working for an optometrist. plus it’s a good way to learn about eye diseases and disorders that may occur in patients or someone you know. buy the book if your in this field.

⭐I’m an optometry student, and I’ve been using Dr. Root’s resources for years. Ever since I was a pre-optometry student in undergrad, I’ve watched his videos. His first book was great, and of course his videos and podcasts are amazing. This book is basically a layman’s encyclopedia to the eye. Something clinicians can use to explain things simply to patients. Every eye doc should have one, at least to leave in the waiting room for your patients to pass the time with.

⭐Studying for COA and this has been very helpful. Would recommend.

⭐Very easy to understand and entertaining for new ophthalmology nurses,student nurses etc. . Dr Root’s YouTube videos and books are all of the same calibre i.e. valuable tool for educational and professional development.

⭐Very awesome and educational in a fun way. I appreciate the effort put in to help people understand Med Terms without boring it. Also really loved the cartoon comics on each section. Wished that there maybe was more color in the comics to be even more interesting. Overall Superb job!

⭐Another great book by Doctor Root. This book is full of explanations for various eye ailments. I looked up several eye drops and finally understand why my eye doctor keeps checking for glaucoma. Plus, the cartoons were cute and very funny. Great reference book to keep at home, especially if you have any eye problems or you’re on drops.

⭐I work for an ophthalmologist and we are going to use this dictionary to help educate our patients. Very informative and in terms anyone can understand.
