Description
This volume offers every clinical ophthalmologist valuable guidance in implementing the results of the latest multicenter clinical trials in practice. Chapters on all major disease entities review all pertinent trials, bring these trials into a real-world setting, and show how the results should influence day-to-day patient management. Coverage includes diseases in all ophthalmologic subspecialties--cornea/external disease, glaucoma, retina, pediatric ophthalmology, ocular oncology, neuro-ophthalmology, and oculoplastics. More than 170 illustrations, 92 in full color, complement the text. General ophthalmologists will have at their fingertips, in an easily digestible format, the current standard of patient care across the spectrum of ophthalmology.
Reviews / Votes
Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 42, Issue 2 -- "If terms such as efficacy, effectiveness, relative risk ratio, absolute risk reduction, and number needed to treat are difficult for you to define, then Evidence-Based Eye Care is for you. This unique book is an overview of significant clinical studies that support the current standard of care in the various ophthalmic subspecialties. Significant information is provided that will be uniquely valuable to a wide audience. Importantly, the three main causes of blindness in the developing countries (age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma, are well covered. Residents reviewing the major subspecialties for board exams, comprehensive ophthalmologists keeping abreast of all areas of ophthalmology, and subspecialists interested in future direction of their area of focus, or the implications of major studies outside their area, will all find this book a good reference. It is an excellent guide to our clinical decision-making process and a valuable resource for critical appraisal of future studies." -- Canadian Journal of OphthalmologyMore details
