Reviews

"It provides a sound knowledge base for ophthalmic nurses. The layout is clear and easy to follow... I have recommended it to my work colleagues. It is a valuable resource, easy to understand and covers the day to day aspects of ophthalmic nursing - and is a must have for every accident and emergency department." (The International Journal of Ophthalmic Practice, 1 August 2011)
