Primary Care Ophthalmology 2/e

Description
Primary Care Ophthalmology is your ideal source for the most
essential information on eye disease. You’ll find reviews of
relevant anatomy and pathophysiology followed by easy to use outlines
of the symptoms, signs, differential diagnoses, treatments, and
referral indications for the ophthalmic conditions you are most
likely to see in practice. With its clear focus on diagnosis and
treatment, this point-of-care reference brings evidenced-based,
clinically actionable information to the front lines of primary care.
The free, PocketConsult handheld software package provides all the
clinical text from the book. Illustrations from the book are also
available in an electronic format for optional download.
