Ophthalmology Medical Terminology Guide (English & Spanish)

A clear, practical, and bilingual ophthalmology reference for today’s healthcare professionals. Ophthalmology is a highly visual and communication-focused specialty — especially when assessing vision changes, discussing eye symptoms, providing treatment instructions, or preparing patients for diagnostic exams and procedures. Medical Terminology Guide: Ophthalmology Edition was created to support nursing students, nurses, physicians, medical assistants, and allied healthcare professionals who work with Spanish-speaking patients in eye care settings. This guide features 200+ essential ophthalmology terms and patient communication phrases presented in a clean, modern, easy-to-read format. Each entry includes the English term, its Spanish equivalent, and a simple phonetic pronunciation to support clear and confident communication — even for non-Spanish-speaking staff. Whether you’re reviewing symptoms such as blurred vision, eye pain, floaters, light sensitivity, or vision loss — or explaining exams and procedures like visual acuity testing, dilated eye exams, OCT, cataract surgery, or glaucoma treatment — this guide keeps the eye-care vocabulary you need right at your fingertips.
