This text serves as both a reference for ophthalmologists and a
required text for optometry students. It presents material by
diagnostic category, and for each category covers the background
information, symptoms, case analysis, and management options.
Case studies are included at the end of each chapter to further
emphasise application to clinical care. New features include the
revision of several chapters and the addition of three new
chapters on computers, acquired brain injury and learning
problems as they relate to vision disorders. References have
been updated and study questions added to the end of each
chapter.
