peer agreement (net): +2| optho ophthalmology Explanation: As you suggest, "optho" (or "ophtho") seems to be a familiar term for ophthalmology used by people in the field. "Ophthoboard: for students, physicians & visionaries I'm a second year student here at NYCOM but over the last few years ophthalmology has definitely become a passion of mine. [...] I'm an extremely hard worker and I work insanely hard in my passions: Optho being one of them. [...] Find ophthalmology programs close to you and email/call them regarding your interest in research. Long Island has three ophtho programs [...]" http://ophthoboard.com/index.php?topic=60.0 "Is this the best intro ophthalmology book ever written? Well … that’s how some fans describe OphthoBook" http://www.ophthobook.com/ "OPTHO 854: General Ophthalmology Course Director: Edward Cheeseman, MD " http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/com/UME/yr4/Electives 20... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-05-28 23:43:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Both the short form and the full form are often misspelt, even, it seems, by people in the field. Although it's supposed to be pronounced "OFTHALMOLOGY", many people pronounce it "OPTHALMOLOGY", and so tend to spell it that way. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-05-28 23:45:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The last source I cited is from an academic med school, where they ought to know better, but they use the form "optho" rather than "ophtho". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-05-28 23:48:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Er... so you did! |
