Review

"The authors have put together a great quick reference book. I would recommend it to any person who works in eyecare either with patients or behind the scenes."

— Nora V. Dorau, CPO, Doody’s Publishing

About the Author

For over 20 years now, Jan Ledford has been using her skills both in the ophthalmic exam room and on the printed page. While she is probably best known for her certification review books and editorship of The Basic Bookshelf for Eyecare Professionals, she is also a published novelist. She combined her talent for medical research with that of story telling to produce The Cloning, a novel about human cloning, which is available at book stores everywhere as well as online. In spite of branching out, she has no intentions of leaving the field of eyecare, where, she says, she has found a permanent and happy home.

Joseph Hoffman has worked in medical publishing since 1985 and was the editor-in-chief of the Ocular Surgery News publication group from 1996 to 2001. He has won writing awards from the American Society of Business Publication Editors and Apex. He is currently the proprietor of Hoffman Health Care Communications.
