Synopsis
To keep pace in today's competitive environment, comprehensive ophthalmologists must broaden the scope of their practice while still offering the highest standard of care in a time-pressured setting. This authoritative new text- in a clear a, user-friendly format- provides the wide coverage and quick access demanded in day-to-day practice.
The book's practical, patient-oriented approach gives pointers for carrying out an examination and determining diagnosis and treatment strategies. To enable quick access to needed information, the text begins with the patient's presenting signs and symptoms, and progresses to in-depth coverage of individual clinical disorders. All are arranged by anatomical and functional systems.
This is the ideal choice for practitioners and residents who need an authoritative and practical resource for quick, everyday reference.

This book covers essential material of the most important and commonly used areas of ophthalmic knowledge. The editors are well-respected academic ophthalmologists and teachers. It provides a practical guide and resource to assist ophthalmic professionals in the clinical and business management of eye care. It is intended to provide diagnosis and treatment information for the most common ophthalmologic diseases for the general ophthalmologist and ophthalmology resident. This book takes a patient- and problem-oriented approach to clinical ophthalmology. Each chapter covers information essential to ophthalmologists for the current standard of care. Unique features include pearls, pitfalls, special considerations, controversial points, and critical pathways. Suggestions for referral to a specialist or subspecialist for further consultation are included in each chapter. The references list up-to-date information in important topics. The last four chapters deal with non-clinical aspects of practice management, which are both important and timely. This is a concise, well written, and up-to-date source of comprehensive ophthalmology by a very talented group of contributors. I highly recommend it to be an essential reference book in every ophthalmologist's library.
