Veterinary Ophthalmology Essentials with CD-ROM

This clinically relevant problem-oriented approach to veterinary ophthalmology includes case studies and accompanying multiple-choice questions on a CD-ROM to encourage students to think through scenarios and treatment options in a systematic manner.

By reading the textbook and working through the cases and question on the CD-ROM, students will not only gain a comprehensive understanding of ophthalmology, but be better prepared to handle clinical situations that will arise in practice. Rather than merely presenting facts for students to memorize, this book with CD-ROM helps readers to develop critical thinking skills.

• This is the only book on veterinary ophthalmology that includes a CD-ROM.
• Uses a problem-based (or case-based) approach to make the material more relevant to students by applying concepts to actual clinical cases.
• The material discussed in each chapter corresponds with 3-4 clinical cases on the CD-ROM to allow the students to apply what they have learned.
• Covers ophthalmology for small animals, as well as food animals, birds, horses, and exotic pets.
• CD-ROM includes multiple-choice questions and answers; if questions are answered incorrectly, users are provided with a helpful explanation and directed to the section in the book that addresses that topic.
