Description
In addition to exploring the mechanisms behind clinical observation, this text provides specifics on how to treat the individual patient in the office. There is a wealth of practical information applicable to day-to-day work, emphasizing the best new strategies for therapy--as well as potential future directions--the Fourth Edition is the perfect answer to streamlining the ophthalmologist's clinical decision-making every day. Each chapter features Classical Misunderstandings: pitfalls in diagnosis and treatment...clinical pearls straight from the authors' clinical experience...flow charts incorporated throughout to help the reader make even better, faster decisions
