Synopsis

Lecture Notes in Ophthalmology is a core text designed to meet the needs of medical students, junior doctors, optometrists and opticians who need a concise overview of this important subject. Lecture Notes on Ophthalmology begins with a brief introduction to the structure and function of the eye, which is integrated with the clinical science. With 17 chapters and now heavily illustrated with 50 full-colour line diagrams and more than 100 clinical photographs, this book concentrates on the most common eye problems that students and doctors can expect to diagnose and manage. Because the authors give each condition a highly structured description to facilitate easy access to information, they ensure, therefore, that the book is ideal for revision.

Review

"The Lecture Notes series has always been a useful source for revision and this ophthalmology edition is not an exception. With an excellent balance of text, diagrams and colour photographs this book gives the reader an overview of the most important features of ophthalmology...I would definitely recommend it."
Eye News

"... the choice of subjects and depth of coverage reflects incidence and importance in ophthalmic practice and student examinations. Further, Prof Bron is one of the country's most repected academics - from this point of view he adds weight and value to this core text..."

Senior House Officer

"I have used this book in the past and probbaly will do prior to finals and I think it is very good, most suitable for undergraduate learning"

"I throughly support the publication of the new edition of this text. It has proved a success in the past and with the addition of revision questions, learning objectives and clinical scenarios/presentations, will continue to be so."

Student Reviewer - Leicester University

"A concise well paid out text with good photographs and explanatory diagrams, makes this tricky subject just a little more bearable. At this reasonable price, I wish that this book had been around last year when I bought a lesser quality text for almost double the price and hardly ever opened it. Only the short sighted would give this book a wide berth. Really worth a look."
