Ophthalmic Drug Facts is the definitive single source of objective, up-to-date drug information for eye care professionals. Both Rx and OTC products are grouped by therapeutic category for quick, easy reference and comparison.

Detailed monographs include all of the drug information that practitioners need to make therapeutic decisions: actions, interactions, adverse reactions, contraindications, dosages, off-label uses, and patient information.

The book also includes dozens of charts, tables, and administration illustrations, contact lens products, a manufacturers index, and selected AOA practice guidelines. A comprehensive index helps the reader locate drugs by generic or brand name, synonym, common abbreviation, or therapeutic group.
