Overview

This book has become an iconic textbook in eye care over many years and multiple editions having originally published in 1986. Considered one of the classic, definitive books for comprehensive anterior segment diagnosis, treatment, and management, this new edition includes a new chapter on pre- and postop management of cataract and refractive surgery and primary care of Glaucoma, which is a major part of primary care optometry today, along with updates on proprietary therapeutic drugs, and technology additions such as amniotic membranes, injectables, and minor in-office procedures. It contains high-quality photos, 6 clinical DX and RX appendices, an index of more than 1800 items, and 74 tables, making this an accessible resource for clinical practitioners. Key Features: * With a combined 130 years of clinical experience and expertise, the optometric authors provide succinct information necessary for diagnosing, treating, and managing all anterior segment, primary glaucoma, and non-surgical ocular conditions. * Includes current and new ocular, and systemic drugs along with pre & postoperative cataract and refractive surgery management protocols useful for clinicians to assist with diagnosis and treatment. * Features a unique presentation format as all the clinical (DX & RX) information is organized in the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) format for quick referencing and practical use by the primary eye care practitioners.
