The material in this textbook on clinical ophthalmology has been revised and expanded to include developments in research and practice. Containing 357 illustrations throughout the text, it is a practical guide to the study of ophthalmology, but it embraces the ocular aspects of general diseases world-wide and basic methods of investigation and treatment where applicable. The volume features references by page and illustration number, resulting from collaboration with the authors of "Colour Atlas of Ophthalmology"; the two books contain all together an outstanding 579 illustrations (343 in colour), including 16 stereo plates. Another companion book is "The Ophthalmology Examinations Review", which aims to provide an effective presentation of knowledge for examination purposes. Together the three volumes offer a study basis for ophthalmologists in training, while supplementing their learning of clinical work and surgical technique with the study of research papers and review monographs.
