Decision-Making in Ophthalmology, 1st Edition
Paperback
-
- Contains more than 230 algorithms with accompanying explanations, covering common general signs and symptoms as well as specific eye disorders, organized by subspecialty area
- Covers all ophthalmic subspecialties, including orbit and lid, neuro-ophthalmology, pediatrics and strabismus, cornea and external disease, lens/cataract, glaucoma, posterior segment, trauma, and tumors
- Color-coded for ease of understanding, helping you differentiate between the key information to gather and questions to consider, actions to take, and any relevant differential diagnoses
- Provides step-by-step guidance for diagnosis of common complaints like vision loss, double vision, eye pain, red eye, and tearing; evaluation for elective procedures such as cosmetic eyelid surgery and refractive surgery; the latest treatment for dry eye disease, glaucoma, macular degeneration, childhood myopia, and retinopathy of prematurity; the use of ophthalmic viscoelastic devices and advanced technology intraocular lenses; management of refractive, cataract, and glaucoma intraoperative and postoperative surgical complications; approaches to traumatic injuries and non-accidental trauma; and much more
- Shares the knowledge and expertise of editor Dr. Neil J. Friedman, who is joined by section editors who lend a well-rounded perspective across ophthalmic subspecialties: Drs. Ore-Ofe O. Adesina, Zaina Al-Mohtaseb, Ann Caroline Fisher, Peter K. Kaiser, Timothy J. McCulley, and Ann Shue
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
