This
larger-format third edition of a remarkable atlas reflects the latest
advances in the constantly evolving specialty of ophthalmology.
Firsthand knowledge is culled from the authors’ decades of patient
consultations, teaching, and combined surgical experience. Cataract,
diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration
are covered along with other eye diseases affecting millions of people
worldwide. Disorders less frequently seen in clinical practice are
included in its comprehensive coverage.

Organized anatomically,
the comprehensive, this expertly written text covers the entire scope
of ophthalmologic practice. Its systematic didactic outline detailing
symptoms, examination findings, and diagnosis makes it easy to follow
and consult.

Key Features:

A detailed chapter on clinical ophthalmological examination
Anatomical, pathophysiological, diagnostic, and clinical data on every area of the eye
600 highest quality color photographs, superb illustrations, and overviews illustrate clinical findings and pathophysiology
Tables include important medications, reference dimensions, and standard values, cardinal symptoms and diagnoses
A glossary of technical ophthalmological terms
New design and larger, clearer format

Medical
students and ophthalmology residents will find this an invaluable
reference tool. This concise compendium also offers a stellar study aid
for board exam preparation, and provides an excellent ophthalmology
refresher course for practicing clinicians and allied healthcare
professionals.

From the Back Cover:

The authors' constant interactions with medical students in the classroom, on the hospital ward, and in oral examinations ever since this pocket atlas first appeared in English 2001 have enabled them to update both the text and the illustrations for this new English edition. Like its predecessor, the 2nd edition provides a concise, thorough and up-to-date introduction to the field of ophthalmology. Medical students on ophthalmology rotations, as well as beginning residents, will find it an invaluable companion on the ward and a useful aid for test preparation. Fully trained physicians and other health professionals, too, will be able to use it for a self-taught refresher course in ophthalmology.

The special features of this book include:

More than 500 clear, well-drawn illustrations and color photographs illustrating clinical findings, disease pathophysiology, and more
Many new illustrations since the previous edition reflecting the latest developments in the field, particularly in the chapters on the retina and the cornea
A new appendix containing correlations between clinical findings and the latest examining techniques, as well as a guide to visual field defects
Comprehensive presentation of examining techniques
An expanded glossary and a copiously illustrated table of important anatomical structures
A convenient and comprehensive table of cardinal manifestations of disease with associated findings, probable diagnoses, and suggestions for diagnostic work-up
Clearly and consistently organized chapters on all major diseases

Just as in the 1st edition, the individual chapters are organized to maximize their usefulness as a teaching tool:

Each chapter begins with the relevant basic concepts in anatomy and physiology
All diseases are consistently presented in accordance with clinical logic: first the symptoms, then the examination findings, then the diagnosis
The diseases are both described in words and shown in didactically useful illustrations

Understand the entire field of ophthalmology with this compact, beautifully illustrated text!

Review:

A great book...photos and drawings are excellent and illustrate common disease presentations, anatomy, surgical basics, examination techniques, and imaging/testing concepts in a very clear manner...best geared to the ophthalmic professional.--Doody's Book Reviews
