This edition has been revised and updated and is in colour and in a new format. The book still enables the student or practising doctor to cope with everyday ophthalmic problems, as well as recognizing those clinical situations which require specialist attention. It provides a concise account of modern ophthalmology. Basic anatomy and physiology are covered along with the diseases of the eye, described symptom by symptom rather than by the usual systematic method. The eye in systemic disease, ophthalmic investigations and treatment, and common misconceptions are also discussed. All illustrations appear directly opposite the relevant text.
