Synopsis

This book sets out to provide trainee and practising ophthalmologists with a visual reference of the common conditions seen in the practise of ophthalmology. By linking the photographs with clinical descriptions and line drawings, the book hopes to achieve a clear explanation of the condition shown. The book contains chapters explaining all aspects of ophthalmology from basic techniques of eye examination to neuro-ophthalmology. Diagnostic and therapeutic methods are discussed throughout, and embryology, pathology and histology are included where appropriate. This second edition retains the basic order of the first, but the text and illustrations have been extensively revised and updated, with new or better examples of the range of ocular conditions. This edition includes fresh information on AIDS, and assessment of computerized visual fields and magnetic resonances have been included. The first chapter, "Methods of Ocular Examination", has been completely reviewed and updated. The layout and style of the book has been re-designed with the aim of easy access.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Atlas of Clinical Ophthalmology combines the highest-quality colour photographs, clinical descriptions and explanatory line drawings to provide an outstanding and accessible visual reference of ocular disease and its clinical signs.

The book systematically covers examination, investigation and diagnosis of all the common and many of the rarer ophthalmic disorders. Illustrations of the embryology, histology, pathology and systemic diseases are included as appropriate to elucidate the clinical information. The new edition has been exhaustively updated throughout, with over 1000 new illustrations, many chapters written by new contributors and new, up-to-the-minute information on refractive surgery and LASIK.

From the reviews of the second edition

"It is a bounty of superbly chosen photographs.... this atlas is unsurpassed in its representational clarity.... A definite visual feast, this book is a prize for any bookshelf." (American Journal of Ophthalmology)

"The authors are superb teachers, and the book is an excellent educational medium." (Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Annual)

"It is always easy to find criticism of a book is one looks hard enough. In this book it seems pointless... it is a superb atlas and I strongly recommend it as a pictorial addition to every clinician's library." (Clinical and Experimental Optometry)
