Product Description
Review
...an excellent, very thorough handbook that is useful for opthamologists at any stage in their training or career. American Journal of Opthamology
Product Description
Now in its second edition, this new Oxford Handbook of Ophthalmology continues to be an unparalleled source of knowledge, providing immediate access to the detailed clinical information you need - in casualty, clinic, theatre, and on the wards. It comprises a systematic synopsis of ophthalmic disease directed towards diagnosis, interim assessment, and ongoing management. Assessment boxes for common clinical conditions, and algorithms for important clinical presentations illustrate this practical approach. The information is easily accessed, being presented in a standard format with areas of importance highlighted. Key sections for the trainee include clinical skills, aids to diagnosis, and investigations and their interpretation. Basic perioperative care, medical emergencies and advanced life support protocols are included. New to this edition are chapters on refractive ophthalmology - containing practical advice on the treatment of refractive error by use of glasses, contact lenses and refractive surgery - and evidence-based ophthalmology - a helpful introduction to critical appraisal, levels of evidence, and medical statistics as relevant to ophthalmology. Primarily intended for ophthalmologists, this handbook has become established as a valuable resource for anyone working with ophthalmic patients, whether optometrists, orthoptists, ophthalmic nurses or other health professions in ophthalmology. It has also become a core text for postgraduate examinations.

This book is invaluable for all those who come into contact with patients complaining of eye symptoms.
For those starting out in ophthalmology it is concise enough to help you get on with helping the patient, whilst still managing to cram in the detail should you need it.
I would especially recommend it those who are in an F2 post or GPVTS post in ophthalmology. It can be very daunting to start out and this book contains information not just on eye disease but on how to examine the eye so that you can get starting that little bit quicker.
General Practitioners will find this book useful as it is a small book that can quickly help explain a patients symptoms and signs and so demystifying what can be a very difficult speciality.
This book is a welcome additon to the Oxford Handbook series and continues the series high standard that we are all accustomed to.

This is an excellent handbook for trainee doctors looking for a pocket-sized reference, which gives a sound basis to most topics. I bet you will find succinct information in this book quicker than an iPad websearch.
Format:Paperback
This hand book is a must for every practicing clinician. A very comprehensive guide for treatment of every ophthalmic condition. Very evidence based, and incorporates the management as per the NICE guidelines and all other recent studies. One can pass any ophthalmic clinical exam with this hand book. A must buy! I strongly recommend this to one and all.
