Description
Legal Aspects of Optometric Practice provides an authoritative guide to the running of an optometric practice and the legal framework
in which an optometrist must work.
This material was previously published in Law and Management in Optometric Practice. Because
of the extensive changes within the field, the text has been radically revised and the management section deleted so that we have a new
textbook especially dedicated to the law in an eye care setting.
This book is an essential purchase for all optometrists whether
students or practitioners.
'Here is a book which fills a definite need... a milestone to be applauded' (From a review of Law and
Management in Optometric Practice published in Optician)
Audience
Optometrists and dispensing opticians in training and in practice
