Abstract

Ideally suited for rapid reference and efficient, effective recall, Clinical Ophthalmology: A Systematic Approach will keep you up to date with current and evolving practice in the diagnosis and management of ophthalmic disorders, using a visually rich, succinct format that facilitates comprehension for trainees and practitioners. You’ll have access to the latest advances in the field.

  • Grasp key information and effectively prepare for examinations with a pictorial, bulleted approach – both highly visual and concise, for more efficient study.
  • Move rapidly throughout the text to find the information you need, with color coding and at-a-glance key points.
  • Learn from two renowned experts in the field.

  • Includes over 2,700 high-quality images, 1,000 of which appear for the first time in this edition.

  • Master the latest advances in ophthalmology: radical changes in the management of macular disease, including the widespread introduction of VEGF inhibitor therapy; recent developments in the investigation and treatment of retinal vascular disease; new pharmaceutical interventions for a range of conditions, including infectious eye disease and glaucoma; and updated surgical procedures and methods, including oculoplastic, corneal, and glaucoma surgery.

  • Guidance on examination, imaging, and recognition of  systemic conditions associated with ocular disease.
