The book contains predominantly color illustrations, with some black-and-white illustrations.From one of the most prestigious institutions in the U.S. comes the Color Atlas of Ophthalmology, a convenient, pocket-sized tool to help physicians make quick and accurate diagnoses of commonly encountered disorders. For each condition, the book presents a high-quality clinical photograph accompanied by a concise review of symptoms, associated findings, differential diagnosis, work-up and treatment. Written by specialists at the Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital, this full-color pocket atlas will help you to diagnose more than 600 common ophthalmic disorders. For each condition, the book presents a high-quality clinical photograph accompanied by a concise review of symptoms, associated findings, differential diagnosis, work-up, and treatment. From new procedures for refractive surgery, to contact lens fitting and complications, ophthalmic pharmacology, state-of-the-art laser and other office-based procedures, and much more, this compact reference covers the field. This book uniquely combines an ophthalmic management handbook with a high quality color atlas. This work is intended to enhance the clinical decision-making and education of a broad range of practitioners. The audience is ophthalmology residents, optometrists, ophthalmic technicians, primary care and emergency room physicians, and experienced ophthalmologists alike. The contributors include ophthalmology residents and attending physicians of the Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital who draw upon the wealth of clinical expertise available at this highly respected institution. Each clinical entity is presented in an outline format which includes a brief description of the condition, presenting symptoms and signs, differential diagnoses, and management recommendations. The extensive color photographs are high in quality and appropriately chosen to illustrate a wide variety of common and rare ophthalmic conditions. The sections on ocular pharmacology, ophthalmic diagnostic tests and procedures, and refractive surgery procedures and complications are extremely relevant and more extensive than comparable sections in other works of this kind. The resulting handbook is an innovative, relevant, high quality, easy-to-use guide that may well supplant Rhee's The Wills Eye Manual: Office and Emergency Room Diagnosis and Treatment of Eye Disease, 2nd Edition (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1994) as the gold standard of this genre. This work is strongly recommended for all beginning eye-care professionals and may be highly useful to established practitioners as well.
