A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ophthalmology is one of the most difficult areas in primary care, with many potential pitfalls for even the most diligent doctor. The chapters in this fully updated edition of Fast Facts: Ophthalmology are organized by patient symptoms, rather than by disease, to facilitate rapid reference in clinical practice. Each chapter describes the essential management steps for each presenting symptom, in terms of referral or treatment options, followed by an overview of the common eye diseases that can cause such symptoms. The book also emphasizes the importance of rapid emergency referral, and is designed to help the triage of patients into three main groups: patients with an eye emergency - urgent referral to an ophthalmologist needed; patients who don't have an urgent problem - routine referral needed; patients who can be observed and treated yourself. Primarily intended for doctors, optometrists, ophthalmic nurses and other health professionals involved with eye care within the community, this refreshingly readable handbook discusses the major ophthalmological symptoms in the context of daily clinical practice.
