PCO/Salus Optometrist Publishes Third Edition of Iconic Textbook
The book “Primary Care of the Anterior Segment” by Louis Catania, OD ‘69, FAAO, DSc, has become an iconic textbook in eye care over many years. And now it’s been updated with a third eponym edition.
First published in 1986, with the updated second edition coming out in 1996, Dr. Catania had been getting a “fair amount of feedback” from optometrists around the country and worldwide asking for a third edition.
Dr. Catania is an internationally renowned lecturer on optometry’s role in the diagnosis and treatment of anterior segment diseases. He was a Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO) faculty member until 1995, serving as associate professor and is now an adjunct professor. He also directed the Center for Continuing and Post Graduate Education, now the Department of International and Continuing Education. As the first director of the Center for International Studies at PCO, Dr. Catania played a pivotal role in expanding the College’s educational scope and therapeutic education for optometrists worldwide.
