Author Description

"Tthe tenth edition of Kanski's Clinical Ophthalmology is intended to be a useful and comprehensive basis for general oph- thalmic and optometric practice. The book is filled with in-depth information on most ophthalmic diseases and includes hundreds of beautiful images and illustrations. I have included sufficient practical information for trainees to manage common ophthalmic conditions in the clinic and enough detail on rare conditions to enable them to prepare for their examinations without resorting to the internet.The challenge has been to cover the entire field of ophthalmology for a world-wide audience without depending on sub-specialists to prepare each chapter. To do this, I have maintained Jack Kanski's unique approach of presenting core clinical knowledge in a sys- tematic and succinct form. Each chapter has been considerably updated and the latest evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have been covered, including genetics and imaging techniques. Many new illustrations have been added and better examples of a range of conditions have been included. An enhanced eBook version is available for rapid access."--Provided by publisher
