Product Description: Convenient and pocket-sized, this unique eyecare resource helps improve communication and patient care in every office that serves Spanish-speaking patients.

A companion audio CD-ROM provides the English-to-Spanish translation of every phrase in the book. * Covers everything from salutations to case histories and follow up care — in the style the eyecare team interacts with patients, related to both administration and procedures. * Uses simple, non-technical terms to maximize patient comprehension for both yes/no and open-ended questions. * Includes a companion audio CD-ROM that provides the English-to-Spanish translation of every phrase in the book, plus printable patient handouts in Spanish. * Features contributions by an ophthalmologist to enhance surgical coverage, while contributions by an optician provide more coverage of dispensing and front office exchanges. * Contains anatomical diagrams labeled in Spanish. * Provides extensive coverage of contact lenses and specific conditions such as eye injuries. * Includes a glossary offering an English-to-Spanish list of common words and phrases divided by categories — such as days of the week, interrogative questions, and common optometric terms.
