Thanks for your comments. Glad you found the zooming technique useful.
The other techniques, such as palming & tracing the figure 8 are a part of the Bates Method technique, which has been in existence since 1919. The Bates Method is a mental approach, founded by Dr. William Bates who was a board certified ophthalmologist. According to Dr. Bates, habitual strain is the main reason behind most problems of vision. All of the suggested exercises help in addressing strain. Hundreds of people, if not thousands, have benefited from using the Bates Method, as you can see from a basic online search or non-partisan user forums dedicated to eye problems.
All of the techniques suggested in the article are natural and easy-to-perform with no proven side effects. In an age where most of us are glued to smartphone and computer screens for most part of the day, these harmless techniques can help people improve their vision without resorting to medications/surgery.
We recommend you to check out this book "The Bates Method for Better Eyesight Without Glasses" https://www.amazon.com/Method-Better-Eyesight-Without-Glasses/dp/0805002413/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496896328&sr=8-1&keywords=bates+method to know more about the Bates Method.
I'm in the same position as you are my friend. I have plenty of books I'm reading upon, but the best book I can refer to you is...
https://www.amazon.com/Optician-Training-Manual-David-McCleary/dp/0615193811/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1502143251&sr=8-3&keywords=abo+exam
& LaramyK online as well as quizlet.com has a bunch of study guides and practice tests people have made. check it out, I'm on the same boat as you dude, shit is tough. A lot of material to cover. Good luck!
Here is the required book from my Cls class, but I havn't used it so i dont know if it is good or not. Also this one was written by my professor who is pretty good.
Nordic Naturals is most popular among a recent show-of-hands at optometric CE.
For economy, I've been ordering Sports Naturals AlaskOmega.
I take it for heart benefits. The dry-eye effects have recently been questioned.
The Bennett Book is amazing for a Contact Lens Manual as stated here. I have been using it at school for a few semesters now. Also, the Will's Eye manual is quite nice to have in clinic when you see that nutso thing that you have no idea what it is. For Pediatrics, I would suggest a book by Scheimann. He is lecturing to us now, and he is pretty damn good at what he does.

This one. It is most excellent.
The Atlas of Clinical Ophthalmology. Beautiful book, too.

This book is fantastic
This is a classic and very easy read:

I haven't read them, but heard a lot about them when they were big. The TL;DR is that you should create a business that doesn't require your constant presence. He wrote one specifically for OD's too.
I know this all too well.
This is pretty clearly hypochondriasis. I'd suggest you see a CBT based psychologist. You can also purchase the Book Brain Lock and read the help section in the back. It's about 15 pages or so. https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Lock-Twentieth-Anniversary-Obsessive-Compulsive/dp/006256143X
You can also find summaries of it online like http://hope4ocd.com/foursteps.php
You need to know that the more you wash your eyes the more sensitive they will get. The more prone to stuff getting in there that you will be. This can be droplets of whatever to debris floating in the air to the unknown. It's funny how when people suffer from anxiety, it seems like the anxiety finds them. These events don't really happen to other people but it keeps happening to you. Anxiety sufferers start to become aware of things everybody else is not aware of and may even start to scan and seek out anxiety provoking events.
My advice is to find a psychologist, ask if he/she provides CBT based therapy and try it.
In the mean time. Wash your eyes if you get something foreign in there. Don't go overboard though. Soap is pretty bad for the eyes so you should try to prevent it. But everybody uses soap everyday and most people aren't frantic over it.
We all have immune systems, well most of us at least. The chances of some infection are unlikely. Read on the hygiene hypothesis. If you want to not get sick you should try to eat bacteria.
I'd suggest getting some lubricating eye drops to lubricate your now dry eyes and make you notice them less. Give it a try. I think you should seek out a psychologist though. It may be a little bit of eye washing now but one trauma in your life and it could turn into a debilitating condition.
Both eyes are correctable to 20/20? Since you seem to be asking for a reference text, our collage felt as though Griffin was the Bible of binocular vision anomalies.

The E-Myth Revisited
https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Revisited-Small-Businesses-About/dp/0887307280
System for Ophthalmic Dispensing is what opticians call the Blue Bible.
It covers everything after the exam about how eyeglass frames and lenses work.
Somebody wrote a book about this. It's written from the patient's perspective as an adult with strabismus. VT worked for her.

I would skim through that and see if it has what you need. We don't use textbooks at my school at all so it was hard for me to give you better direction.
But seriously, that's disgusting that the school doesn't do anything. I would be livid if I spent a fortune for my education and I didn't get proper training.
