The specialty has developed more subspecialties, and the referring doctor has to have a good knowledge of these in order to make appropriate referrals. An increased emphasis on screening has made it necessary for the primary care doctor to have a basic knowledge of eye diseases. This applies particularly to glaucoma and diabetic eye disease. The management of eye conditions in the elderly is also an important and increasing primary care problem. Essential for medical students and general practitioners as well as optometrists and nurses, the book is problem-orientated and deals with the science of Ophthalmology at a basic level. This third edition includes more and better colour illustrations and the text is kept simple but explanatory. The authors’ aim is to avoid technical terms where they can be replaced by plain English; Common terms and phrases: abnormal acute adults amblyopia anterior chamber antibiotic appear aqueous artery associated become blind blood cataract surgery cause cells choroid chromosome chronic ciliary body clinical common condition congenital conjunctiva conjunctivitis contact lenses cornea cranial nerve defect degeneration diabetic retinopathy diagnosis dilated diplopia drops drugs ectropion effect elderly epithelium examination extraocular muscles eye disease eyelids Figure foreign body fundus glasses glaucoma globe haemorrhages headache important infection inflammation inflammatory inherited injury intraocular pressure iris keratitis lacrimal laser layer lens lesions lid margin light macular measure ment muscle myopia normal occlusion occur ocular oedema ofthe opacities ophthalmic ophthalmoscope optic atrophy optic disc optic nerve orbital pain palsy patient peripheral pigment posterior present problem proptosis pupil rare refractive error result retinal detachment sclera seen slit-lamp sometimes squint symptoms syndrome tear tends tion tissue treatment tumour ulcer upper lid usually uveitis vascular vessels visual acuity visual field visual loss vitreous ER -
