  Ophthalmology is a concise introduction to clinical ophthalmology for trainees in their first few years in the specialty. Detailed practical guidance is given on diagnosis and management - including history, examination, and investigation - of all disorders encountered in routine practice, with particular emphasis on clinical decision-making and treatment. It also provides a framework for further study, for which references to specialist texts are provided throughout. There are sections on ophthalmological optics and refraction, therapeutics, surgical management, lasers, techniques of photocoagulation and photodisruption, and differential diagnosis according to symptoms and signs. Correlations are drawn throughout between clinical ophthalmology and ophthalmological pathology to provide an understanding of the scientific basis of modern ophthalmology. All ophthalmologists in training will benefit in their everyday clinical practice from having this excellent textbook. This book is intended for trainee ophthalmic surgeons (SHOs and registrars); staff doctors doing ophthalmology.
