Vitreoretinal Disease: The Essentials

Review & Description

In the last 30 years, the field of vitreoretinal disease has rapidly evolved into a complex medical/surgical specialty that incorporates a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. Even for specialists, it is difficult to keep up with the constant flow of new clinical information; for the general ophthalmologist it is almost impossible.

This book fills the gap by offering an up-to-date, clinically oriented, one-volume source that covers the full spectrum of medical and surgical vitreoretinal diseases. Although comprehensive in scope, the book is designed to highlight important points and pearls of information in a modern essentials format, making it ideal for everyday use by the specialist and generalist alike.

This beautifully illustrated text begins with a basic overview of ocular embryology, anatomy, and physiology, and moves on to the latest diagnostic tools, individual disease states, and specific vitreoretinal procedures. Throughout, there are important management tips and guidelines that can easily be applied in everyday practice.

Introduction to
Introduction to the Optics of the Eye
by David A. Goss, Roger W. West

(Visit the Best Sellers in Optometry list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)

Review & Description

This is an easy to read, but not overly simplistic, introduction to clinically important topics. Through their own experience, the authors have been able to address the current gap in textbooks and achieve a balance between "need to know" and "what to know." It provides an introductory chapter that covers the history of visual optics and its relation to clinical vision care.

Review & Description

The Clinical Ophthalmology Test-Yourself Atlas new edition is a more valuable aid to examination success than ever before. The topics covered have been expanded, and extra images and questions have been added throughout. The book has been completely redesigned and re-formatted to be more user-friendly, and it now provides a handy reference and revision guide that can be conveniently referred to at any time. A new online website presents all the questions and images in varied formats so you can interactively assess all aspects of your knowledge by the most effective means possible. You can work through questions thematically using the 'in the classroom' mode, or alternatively choose the random 'in the clinic' mode that mimics the arbitrary presentation of cases in clinical practice. With its variety, flexibility and instant feedback, the online self-assessment tool provides a thorough, challenging and stimulating way for students to review and consolidate their knowledge.

  • Online assessment presents all questions and images in interactive format.
  • Two modes of assessment test all aspects of your knowledge with instant results.
  • Redesigned with new format and handy trim size.
  • Over 1000 colour illustrations, many of which are new.
  • More questions, more pathology, more histology.
