This book has three main purposes: (1) to aid the busy eye doctor in identifying all ocular manifestations of a given syndrome, disease, or inherited disorder; (2) to provide references so that the eye doctor will know where to look for additional information; and (3) to promote greater observation of the characteristics of ocular syndromes, systemic diseases, andinherited disorders. This book is designed for quick reference while the patient's eyes are being dilated or immediately following an examination. Practicality is the objective; conciseness, logical arrangement, and authenticity are the main features. Dr. Roy has endeavored to include all systemic syndromes, diseases, and inherited disorders that have ocular manifestations. The titles are arranged alphabetically and are numbered. Other names of the same disorder are also given. A general definition, clinical ocular findings, clinical systemic findings, and several references are included for each entry. Each entry is dealt with as completely as space and practicality allow. Laboratory findings have not been considered; the book is designed to serve as the physician's primary source of information for ocular diseases.
The Ocular Differential Diagnosis book provides comprehensive lists of causes for symptoms or findings. Frequently more information is needed, and it is hoped that, Ocular Syndromes and Systemic Diseases will furnish the physician with additional information to make a better diagnosis.
