Description
Ophthamology forms a relatively small part of the undergraduate medical course, but it is important for students to be familiar with the basic principles of fundoscopy (examination of the retina), and with the major diseases of the eye such as glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. This book is aimed at medical undergraduates, junior doctors, optometrists, and general practitioners.
