The Ophthalmic Assistant

The book is an excellent edition, which I use for school. It has helped a lot in my classes.

I bought this book, actually I purchased the older version and later the new version, to study for my COA. It was more than enough for that!! Later I used it as the foundation for the study for my COT. I am happy to say that I passed that last year also! You simply can't do without this book!!!!
