Your next patient has keratoconus. When was the last time you familiarized yourself with this disease? Herein, lies the value of Ophthalmology Review. This text is invaluable to those of us who were primarily trained in neurology or those who find themselves somewhat distant from the practice of general ophthalmology.
The authors assembled 62 distinguished contributors to create an easy to read text that presents ophthalmological disorders in a concise and useful format. The book takes a case-based approach to each disease and divides it into six or seven sections. This makes it very quick and easy to find the fundamental information that you seek.
Section 1: The history and findings on examination of a typical patient.
Section 2: Relevant diagnostic testing and interpreta-tions.
Section 3: The diagnosis.
Section 4: Medical management.
Section 5: Surgical options.
Section 6: Recommendations for rehabilitation and follow-up care.
Section 7: Suggested Reading
Ophthalmology Review is not meant to be an exhaustive review of ophthalmological disease. That would require many thousands of pages and would not fit on my bookshelf. What I cannot overstate is the brilliant way this book has been organized. The format is concise and well-illustrated. It provides the reader with the significant information that he or she needs and a useful list of references for further study.
