About The Au thor

Dedication
First and foremost, this book is dedicated to my loving family consisting of my brother, mother, father, maternal aunt, grandmother, and my extended family relatives and friends. Second, this book is dedicated to mentors and instructors, especially Lorenz E. Zimmerman, MD, who influenced my decision to pursue ophthalmology as my life’s work, and others who have indirectly made this book possible by sharing with me their earnest enthusiasm for discovery and scholarship with the goal of somehow changing, for the better, the world in which we and our patients live. Finally, and of greatest importance, this book is dedicated to those who have entrusted their well-being to us and are deserving of the highest quality eye care possible at all times, our patients. By striving daily to improve and update our knowledge of eye disease therapy, we can hope to contribute to our patient’s perpetual good health, happiness, and visual performance ze nith.

Intent of This Book
This book is intended for use by all individuals involved in the routine surveillance and care of the eye, especially eye care professionals [e.g., ophthalmologists (Eye MD’s) and optometrists] who will be completing written and oral board examinations. This book has been written in such a way so as to provide rapid, succinct, indexed information on current concepts of eye disease therapy (e.g., ophthalmic drug names, available preparations, dosages, dosing frequency, and drug classification information for routine eye medications used by eye care specialists, family practitioners, and other medical sub-specialties who often treat patients for various uncomplicated eye conditions (e.g., mild conjunctivitis or small / uncomplicated corneal abras ions).
Various medical specialists may use this reference to better understand eye disease therapy and ocular drug doses, actions, side effects, and potential drug interactions with systemic medications and systemic disease processes involving their patients. Familiarity with this book will, thus, optimize eye disease therapy of patients by eye care professionals and non-eye care medical professionals alike, by creating a mutual understanding of current concepts of eye disease therapy (e.g., ophthalmic drug names, available preparations, dosages, dosing frequency, and drug classification information for routine eye medicat ions.
The information in this book should serve as a valuable tool for allied eye care professionals such as ocular technicians, opticians, and other office practice personnel. These aforementioned professionals who are involved in screening patients with eye disease and, in addition, ordering and re-stocking eye medications and other eye-related supplies should find this text extremely hel pful.
A quick reference list (common eye conditions / diseases) and a table of contents are both present in the front section of this book and a comprehensive alphabetical index is provided at the back of this book. The layout of this text was designed to facilitate quick and easy access to eye disease treatment summaries and detailed ophthalmic drug therapy dosing and frequency information, as well as drug interaction and drug contraindications informa tion.
