Book Review: Clinical Procedures in Primary Eye Care, 5th Edition

David Elliott’s Clinical Procedures in Primary Eye Care continues its growing reputation of being one of the most well-known and trusted procedures textbooks in optometry. The first edition of this book was released in 1997 when we were undergraduate optometry students, and we were very thankful to have used that edition. During subsequent successive versions, this book has evolved substantially. The newly revised 5th edition of this valuable resource continues to be concise and is divided into nine chapters covering a wide range of commonly used clinical techniques in primary care optometry. Each chapter begins with an outline format which makes the pertinent information easy to follow and easy to locate. Optometry students will find this book helpful as they navigate the many potential examination techniques by providing evidence-based eye examination techniques in a very easy-to-read and understandable format.
