"Ophthalmology at a Glance" is a concise textbook written as part of the highly successful at a "Glance Series". The book follows the classic format of topics laid out in a double page spread, with clear diagrams illustrating the essential information and supporting the main text.

History and Examination techniques are followed by the key detail on common problems and diseases. The book is divided into 13 sections covering: Principles of ophthalmology; Ophthalmic History and Examination; Correction of Refractive errors; Basic Eye Examination; Acute ophthalmology; Gradual loss of vision; Paediatric ophthalmology; Eyelid, lacrimal and orbit; External eye disease; Corneal, refractive and cataract surgery; Glaucoma; Vitreo-retinal; and, Neuro-ophthalmology.
"Ophthalmology at a Glance" will be extremely useful for medical students as an introduction to this subject area, and an invaluable companion during their attachments. This book is designed to fit into the budget and reading time of busy students, and is ideal as a text that will help them get through their exams successfully.
