Description and Table of Contents

Description

This text is a reference for identifying and diagnosing ocular manifestations of systemic disease. All ocular abnormalities associated with disorders of bodily systems are included and illustrated in colour. Sections feature such issues as diabetic eye disease, AIDS, the recognition of drug abuse through the eye and drug reactions and toxicities. Summary charts aim to make referencing definitions, presentations, investigations, therapies, complications and prognosis quick and easy. The context centres on what is required to reach a differential diagnosis. More than 470 illustrations facilitate this with colour photographs. Signs and symptoms of phakamatoses, inflammatory disorders and disease are seen as they appear in everyday practice. This should be a useful diagnostic tool for those involved in identifying and diagnosing ocular conditions.
