Training in Ophthalmology

Omtale

Fully updated for a third edition, Training in Ophthalmology remains the indispensable guide to address the Royal College of Ophthalmologists (RCOphth) syllabus for trainee ophthalmologists, and is essential for all those studying ophthalmology, optometry, and orthoptics. As a theoretical and practical aid, it guides the reader through postgraduate Ophthalmic Specialist Training. Emphasis is placed on the practical assessment and management of key ophthalmic conditions. Clearly laid out and highly illustrated in full colour throughout, each condition is discussed in two to three pages, beginning with general explanations of pathophysiology and clinical evaluation, followed by differential diagnoses and treatment options. This new edition has been fully revised to increase emphasis on instilling an understanding of the rationale of current practice from first principles, with summary tables of seminal studies and distilled guidelines from the RCOphth and NICE. This text will appeal to foundation doctors, specialist trainees in ophthalmology, candidates preparing for the Fellowship of the Royal College of Ophthalmology examination, and consultants and allied practitioners looking for a comprehensive yet accessible guide to the subject.
