Description
This represents a practical account of the diagnosis and management of ophthalmic disorders in children and is aimed at the non-specialist ophthalmic surgeon for whom children make up only part of daily practice. It will also be of interest to trainee ophthalmologists and paediatricians. It makes liberal use of illustrations, containing over 350 colour photographs all of which are taken from the second edition of David Taylor's highly successful specialist reference book "Paediatric Ophthalmology". It is written in a concise and pithy style in order to convey the maximum practical information in the smallest space. The text is generously interspersed with lists, tables, summaries and boxes to guide the reader to the relevant place quickly.
