The Physician's Guide to Eye Care

A definitive source for the non-ophthalmologist, this heavily illustrated book provides step-by-step recommendations for performing an ophthalmic screening examination, screening the symptomatic patient, interpreting common ophthalmic systems and signs, managing the red eye, and handling eye trauma. Covers new methods of treating refractive errors, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, severe dry eye syndrome, and other ophthalmic entities. Also includes sections on retinitis pigmentosa and cancers of the eyelids, and discussion of 59 systemic diseases.
