www.EyeMedsNow.com, a free ophthalmic prescribing resource, is ideal for instructing students and is the most comprehensive database of medications specifically for eyecare. Gregory Nixon, OD, FAAO, and an outstanding team of optometrists and ophthalmologists have developed EyeMedsNow specifically for ophthalmic prescribing.
Murray Fingeret, OD, FAAO, clinical professor atSUNY College of Optometry and chief of the Optometry Section at Brooklyn/St. Albans Campus, VA New York Harbor Health Care System, says, “The EyeMedsNow website is extremely useful and practical and will save time for the busy clinician. In one view, information on ophthalmic medications is available including indications, how the drug is supplied, dosing and access to cost. My guess is that this website will soon turn into a must-use for all clinicians.”
Dawn Hartman, OD, assistant professor of clinical practice/chief preceptor at Ohio State University College of Optometry and residency coordinator and director of optometry at Columbus Ophthalmology Associates, says, “EyeMedsNow is a valuable resource for my optometry residents, students and me! We keep it open and available when we are in clinic. I recommend that students use EyeMedsNow to study for boards and help understand the ‘big picture’ when it comes to pharmacology and patient management."
