About this title

Synopsis

This volume is a practical, profusely illustrated guide to the management of all ocular emergencies, including disease-related emergencies as well as traumatic injuries. The book features 100 detailed continuous-tone line drawings--specially made for this volume by a noted medical illustrator--that depict the diseases and injuries clinicians encounter and demonstrate procedures for treating these conditions.Coverage begins with essential information on common emergent scenarios, examination procedures, considerations in pediatric patients, radiologic and sonographic evaluation, timing of surgical intervention, preoperative preparation, and anesthesia. The next 20 chapters cover the entire range of ophthalmic and neuro-ophthalmic disorders that can present in an emergency setting, as well as selected intraoperative and postoperative emergencies. The concluding chapter discusses the medicolegal aspects of functional visual loss, and an appendix provides guidelines for quantitation of visual disability.
