Description
Glaucoma is one of the most common ocular conditions with which the ophthalmologist is presented. The main aim of the book is to provide both the trainee and the practitioner with a clear and concise account of the diagnosis and management of the various forms of the condition. This new edition has been completely revised and updated and includes many new topics reflecting the latest developments in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma. The text is superbly illustrated with colour photographs and drawings so as to help the reader correctly interpret the clinical signs and learn details of the surgical and laser techniques. A bibliography of key texts is provided for those who wish to pursue a particular topic in more depth. The authors have maintained the systematic and detailed approach that established the first volume as the most comprehensive account of the disease currently available.
