It seems that Stedman’s word books, generally, get a near unanimous standing ovation from transcriptionists, and a excellent head-scratching answer from those who are looking for more detailed in rank in addition to language, phrases, and spelling.
Well, that’s apt. This ophthalmology word book, and all of the other similar word books Stedman’s publishes, are specifically targeted to the niche market of MTs, medical authors, etc., who need specific in rank on the hundreds of thousands of terms used within the field. This particular book is valuable because it is so specialized, as terms of ophthalmology are seldom used in other areas. Even as many medical terms may apply to a number of specialties, that’s just not the case here.
If not for this book, I would be absolutely lost, for example, in an ER trauma report that deals with an eye injury, and certainly would be lost when having to transcribe a blepharoplasty or even a routine cataract removal. Stedman’s is a gold mine for anyone hoping to advance in the field of medical transcription.

“Ophthalmology Words” by Stedman once again lives up to the Stedman tradition of excellence. With over 60,000 entries, it absolutely covers the gamut of ophthalmologic words, surgical and otherwise. In addition to being absolutely thwart-referenced, it includes four helpful appendixes that include 1) several anatomic reference guides, 2) commonly used eye drug/medications, 3) a preparation/course of action reference, and, most helpful in my estimation, 4) 13 ophthalmologic reports–the latter are extremely helpful for he/she who writes up surgical reports.
This second edition, written in the year 2000, is as current as you can get.
As a transcriptionist who occasionally does ophthalmologic transcription, I find this reference tops.

The second edition of “Stedman’s Ophthalmology Words” [January 2000] is a real gem for the medical transcriptionist needing a current reference in this specialty. It has 60,000 entries, cross-indexed, with >42,00 medical word entries relevant to ophthalmology, including the pertinent peripheral nerves, muscles, disorders and diseases.
Additionally, it has four helpful appendixes: 1) anatomical illustrations, 2) common terms by course of action, 3) drugs by suggestion [i.e., for entities such as "conjunctivitis" or "glaucoma", there is listed the Rx for these common problems] and, I judge most helpful, 4) thirteen common operative reports with many of the arcane terms used by eye surgeons.
Surgical instruments are listed freely in this tome: the word “forceps”, for example, has four pages of various forceps found in ophthalmology.
This is a gold mine for the individual who needs a reference in this specialty. As a transcriptionist who occasionally transcribes ophthalmological reports, I urge it highly.
