Oxford Textbook of Ophthalmology ... | Buy

This new Oxford Textbook will become the definitive reference forophthalmology. Fully illustrated in colour throughout, it covers all aspects ofthe scientific basis, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of the eye andits disorders, including neuro-ophthalmology, paediatric ophthalmology, andsurgical principles and anaesthesia.The textbook has been written by an international team of contributors who havebeen instructed to emphasize clear plans for clinical management, giving thescientific evidence on which they based; while also analysing underlyingmechanisms of disesase.
