Publisher's Synopsis
This fourth edition expands on the success of the best-selling third edition to create the most practical and accessible ophthalmology manual for trainees, ophthalmologists, and optometrists. With its succinct, practical text, profusion of clinical photos and descriptions of procedures, the Moorfields Manual of Ophthalmology has established itself as one of the most popular and recognisable clinical resources available.
The new edition has been extensively revised by internationally renowned experts to incorporate the latest advances in ophthalmic care while retaining its practical approach and compact design.
Comprising 15 chapters, the book comprehensively covers a vast array of eye conditions offering step by step guidance on how to perform common ocular procedures from intravitreal injections to cataract surgery. Descriptions of procedures appear in discrete boxes, making them more prominent and accessible. Each chapter tab is colour coded to improve navigation.
All content has been updated in line with current best practice. Key studies sections summarise landmark trials and their relevance to clinical practice.
The triage chapter provides multiple diagnostic decision-making algorithms based on common signs and symptoms, and then refers readers to the relevant sections on management, explaining specific treatment regimens covering all important eye conditions.
More than 100 additional and replacement photographs show better, clearer examples of clinical signs and new colour diagrams depict anatomic structures and procedures, further aiding diagnosis.
The manual includes selective inclusion of less common diseases and treatments and provides general practitioners and optometrists with guidelines to help determine referral urgency.
A comprehensive appendices section includes topics such as anaphylaxis, use of an operating microscope, surgical instruments, ophthalmic drug use in pregnancy, and much more.
