Clear, concise and very clinical, this indispensable new text forms part of a course on ocular therapeutics for all optometrists in training, in practice and taking continuing professional development studies. Adapted from a well-received and highly successful series of articles first published in OPTICIAN, the book concisely covers the foundations of anatomy, physiology, immunology, pharmacology and microbiology. It builds upon these basics to explore the clinical disciplines of ocular disease and the ocular manifestations of systemic disease. It covers a whole range of ocular drugs, their actions, their uses and possible adverse responses.
An interactive CD-Rom outlines 40 case studies where you can work through the management options. Further case studies and tests are available on www.optometryonline.net.
