Simplified Overview of the Clinical Ophthalmology for the Students
Textbook of Ophthalmology is an essential book written to cater to the needs of undergraduate students and covers all the theoretical and practical topics of ophthalmology. It emphasizes the gradual understanding of all aspects of anatomy, physiology, pathological disorders, necessary investigations, and recommended management. Consisting of 28 chapters, the topics begin with anatomy and physiology of vision and further describe all the intraocular structures and their related disorders, intraocular tumors, and injuries. Separate chapters have been included for ocular manifestations in neurological and systemic disorders. The last chapter on community ophthalmology highlights the latest updates in the “National Program for Control of Blindness.”
Key Features:
• The text is as per the latest competency based MCI curriculum.
• It is written in a simple language with gradual progression of the content from the basics of anatomy and physiology to the pathology of different disorders.
• Understanding and reciprocation of the topics are made easier with algorithms, tables, along with more than 300 clinical images and illustrations.
• Applied aspects have been highlighted in the boxes.
This book is a must for MBBS students, for those preparing for postgraduate entrance, as a foundation book for residents in ophthalmology, and as a review book for those practicing ophthalmology.
