Description
This introductory textbook concentrates on the essential techniques of eye examination and on the clinical elements needed by a non-ophthalmologist. Aimed specifically at medical students and junior doctors, the book emphasizes topic teaching and ophthalmic signs in systemic disorders. This edition has been revised and updated to include additional notes on such topics as carotid insufficiency retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, central serous retinopathy and retinal pigment epithelial detachments. The newer treatments with intraocular lenses, refractive corneal surgery and trabeculopasty, iridotomy and capsulotomy with lasers are also mentioned.
