Description and Table of Contents
Description
This all-new, 6-volume masterwork is brilliantly illustrated with more than 5700 illustrations - over 3000 in full colour - the quantity and quality of which is unprecedented in ophthalmic literature. From clinical evaluation and pathology to diagnostic findings and operative management, there is expert pictorial coverage of the broad spectrum of ocular diseases and conditions encountered in daily practice. The text is equally impressive, with complete descriptions of recent scientific and clinical advances. It begins with a single volume devoted to basic science matters, followed by five definitive volumes on diagnosis and management. The Basic Science volume emphasises the scientific underpinnings of ophthalmology more than other texts and lays the foundation for the clinical volumes. It provides detailed information on biology, genetics, aging, pharmacology, immunology, light and lasers and more. The five Clinical Science Volumes discuss every facet of ocular disease...from glaucoma and cataracts, to retinal detachments, systemic diseases, trauma, ocular oncology and more.
It is available as a complete 6 volume set, or single Basic Science volume only, or a 5 volume Clinical Sciences set.
