Ophthalmic Drug Facts is the definitive single source of objective, up-to-date drug information for eye care professionals.

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.
