Quick-as-a-Wink Guide to Training Your Eye Care Staff is your road map to training eye care staff. This brief, unique manual shows you what references to use in educating your staff, from basic to advanced skills. The handbook helps you develop a comprehensive instruction plan and thereby run a more efficient office. This pint-sized volume by Janice K. Ledford packs essential index-style information within its pages. While references for most skills are listed directly, as a single entry, the more involved skills (visual fields, for example) are represented by skills sheets that are formatted to include background knowledge, alphabetized skill elements, instrumentation (when appropriate), and related skills and topics (when appropriate). This title features select skills which include: basic skills (history taking, visual acuity, tonometry); optometric skills (lensometry, vertex distance, pupillary distance); optical skills (frame selection, lens verification, contact lenses); special skills (exophthalmometry, ultrasound, OCT); motility skills (cover tests, three-step test, Maddox rod); corneal evaluation (pachymetry, slit lamp, keratometry); and basic health care skills (hand washing, standard precautions, vital signs). The unique features of this book include: references 30 books by SLACK Incorporated; shows trainer where to find information needed to teach a specific skill; provides trainee/student with references to learn a specific skill and/or prepare for certification exams, and what book shows more detail; and an essential aid in selecting the appropriate educational books for your office staff.

With no other book like it on the market, ""Quick-as-a-Wink Guide to Training Your Eye Care Staff"" is a must-have for anyone working in an ophthalmic, optometric or optical office, and those studying for certification exams, in addition to those who select reference books for students, offices, and clinics.
