Product Description

This is a new edition of an innovative and popular introduction to ophthalmology, which in its first edition was awarded the Asher Prize in the Royal Society of Medicine Book Awards. After an introduction to the anatomy of the eye and its examination, the major diseases of the eye and their management are described, followed by a problem-based introduction to clinical decision making. For this third edition, the book has been revised to take account of the many advances in this specialty including the use of monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of 'wet' age-related macular degeneration and new surgical techniques for corneal transplants.

Customer Reviews

Excellent reference for student nurses and doctors
This book is written in a way that is easy to understand, but gives all the useful information you need if you are a nurse or doctor learning about ophthalmology, with excellent pictures.
I have the 1999 version at the moment and have found it very useful for post-reg nursing assignments, but it would be equally useful for pre-reg nurses or doctors.
I am assured by Brad Bowling himself that the new version is an improvement even on the 1999 version and intent to get one.

Good
Excellent set of pictures which I find is far more useful than text generally. Good concise text summarising key learning points by topic. Would recommend to all GPs and Junior doctors but for more detail then Kansky is a must for those GPwSIs or budding opthalmologists
