A cornerstone for ophthalmology
4 years ago, I had a one faith. This book will be Bible to me. That's all.

Clinical Ophthalmology
An excellent diagramatic and comprehensive book on clinical ophthalmology. It provides the reader with a solid foundation of knowledge within a wide range of subjects - covering eyelids, sclera, cornea, retinal, orbital ..... to trauma. The list is extensive! The variety of coloured photographs and diagrams enhances the text providing the reader with a step-by-step guide through conditions and treatments.

An excellent reference text for all clinical practitioners to have.
