Ethics for the Eye Care Professional is aimed at both the undergraduate optometry student and experienced practitioners working within eye care, although many examples and details of ethical code apply particularly to the optometry field. The text is comprehensive, readable and illustrated with light hearted cartoons. The book has a strong message throughout that ethical considerations are important and occur on a day to day basis in eye care practice. This would be a useful guide for student orthoptists as one of the few ethics texts which provide relevant clinical examples. <b> British & Irish Orthoptic Journal </b>
