A TEXTBOOK OF CLINICAL OPHTHALMOLOGY, 2nd Edition
A Practical Guide to Disorders of the Eyes and Their Management
by Ronald Pitts Crick (King's College Hospital, London) & Peng Tee Khaw (Moorfields Eye Hospital, London)
This comprehensive and well-illustrated book provides a reasoned approach to the everyday practice of ophthalmology. This new edition has been updated to include contributions by thirteen highly qualified ophthalmologists with special experience in many aspects of the subject. Stereo photographs are included because some eye conditions require depth perception for a real understanding of their nature.
Written to emphasise aspects found over many years to be of practical importance in a large undergraduate teaching hospital and two eye hospitals, it will be especially useful to medical students as well as general practitioners and ophthalmologists-in-training. In particular, the section on "Common Ophthalmic Problems" which, like a "book within a book", indicates to students the most important eye conditions for study.
The new edition has been expanded to include the latest advances in research and practice. It has been thoroughly revised and includes contributions from thirteen specialist sub-editors 20% of the Royalties from this book will be denoted to the patient based International Glaucoma Association

"A concise, well illustrated comprehensive book of ophthalmology which reads easily and well ... Many of the illustrations are in colour and clearly portray the clinical conditions described. Outstanding value for money."
| Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England |
"Clinical Ophthalmology would make an excellent text for students, junior doctors and GPs who wish to develop an interest in ophthalmology and gain greater proficiency than is offered by shorter texts."
"This comprehensive textbook, an excellent new edition ... A practical guide to disorders of the eyes and their management, the text will be especially useful to medical, ophthalmology and optometry students and also general medical practitioners and practising optometrists."
| British Journal of Optometry & Dispensing, 1997 |
"This is a very nice little textbook which is small enough to fit easily into a briefcase. While not attempting to be fully comprehensive, it does cover all aspects of ophthalmology with particular attention to the most common problems seen in practice and also gives a flavour of some of the rarer conditions ... It is well illustrated not only with colour and black and white plates but also with a series of very good simple line drawings which show clearly the principles of common surgical procedures."
