**Selected for 2025 Doody's Core Titles (R) in Optometry**
Filled with stunning images and in-depth information on both common and rare ophthalmic diseases and disorders, Kanski's Clinical Ophthalmology: A Systematic Approach, 10th Edition, is both a foundational knowledge source for trainees and a valuable reference for experienced practitioners.

Extremely well organized and comprehensive in scope, it provides authoritative, focused guidance on diagnosis and management, facilitating quick comprehension to enhance learning, aid exam preparation, and guide clinical practice.
Uses targeted text, bulleted lists, tables and visual aids to highlight salient points across all ophthalmology subspecialties.
Features more than 2,800 high-quality illustrations, including over 2,000 images depicting both common and rare conditions, with arrows to show the exact pathology.
Includes the latest developments in cataract and refractive surgery, glaucoma, diabetes, macular degeneration, retinal vascular disease, pachychoroid disease, posterior uveitis, inflammatory eye disease, multiple sclerosis, thyroid eye disease, tumors, immunotherapy and genetics.
Contains new, detailed illustrations of eye anatomy; improved case examples; and expanded sections on headache, seventh nerve palsy, cerebral visual impairment and Parkinson disease.
Uses state-of-the-art imaging modalities such as OCT, OCT-A, fundus autofluorescence and ICG angiography to demonstrate subtle choroidal and retinal pathology.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
"...remains a key source for those studying ophthalmology and optometry.... It's jampacked with more than 2,000 key images and systematically and comprehensively covers ophthalmological diseases in a logical fashion - skin to occiput.... As in previous editions, the text is tight and well written and Dr Salmon has done a masterly job of upgrading the textbook. Figures and tables are generally excellent and the illustrations are so dense it has almost become as much an atlas as a textbook! Aided by a selection of experts, as is noted in the text's preface, Dr Salmon has collated and updated this book to the highest of standards.... The current edition is bang up-to-date, beautifully illustrated and remains the gold standard as a core portable, readable textbook which one could use both for study and for reference in the clinic. It is also made more usable and portable by provision of the ebook edition in the purchase price." - Professor Charles McGhee, Department Head of Ophthalmology and Director of the New Zealand National Eye Centre, the University of Auckland, NZ Optics, 2025
"Each chapter provides detailed but concise information on clinical features, imaging, relevant laboratory testing, and the treatment and management of each condition. The content has been updated...to include descriptions of monkeypox infection and COVID conjunctivitis, which have emerged in recent years. It also includes the latest medications for treating various diseases. This book is up-to-date and relevant for the clinical practitioner of 'today.' Aside from the thorough and well-organized content, one of the book's best features is the inclusion of high-quality pictures and images.... an excellent comprehensive resource for optometrists, ophthalmologists, trainees, new clinicians, and experienced practitioners alike, casting a wide net of utility. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and have already found myself referencing it quite a few times." - Emily Stephey, OD, FAAO (Southern California College of Optometry), Optometry and Vision Science, October 2023
"...a comprehensive medical text on general ophthalmology and optometric practice. The author's objective was to cover the entire field of ophthalmology "without depending on sub-specialists", instead, presenting a core of clinical knowledge repository in "a systematic and succinct form".... Elsevier's new edition have stated that, "Dr. Kanski's highly effective format of succinct text and visually dynamic presentation" provides students, trainees and experienced practitioners. "Extremely well organized and comprehensive in scope, it provides authoritative, focused guidance on diagnosis and management, facilitating quick comprehension to enhance learning, aid exam preparation, and guide clinical practice." - Dr. Gearoid Tuohy, Euretina, January 2025
