    The material in this edition of A Textbook of Clinical Ophthalmology has been thoroughly revised and expanded to include the latest research and practice. Containing 357 illustrations throughout the text, the book is not only a reasoned practical guide to the study of ophthalmology, but it embraces the ocular aspects of general diseases world-wide and basic methods of investigation and treatment where applicable.

    This book has references by page and illustration number, resulting from collaboration with the authors of Colour Atlas of Ophthalmology; the two books contain all together an outstanding 579 illustrations (343 in colour), including 16 stereo plates. Another companion book is The Ophthalmology Examinations Review, which aims at the most effective presentation of knowledge for examination purposes. Together these three compact and inexpensive books provide an excellent study basis for ophthalmologists in training, while supplementing their learning of clinical work and surgical technique with the essential study of recent research papers and review monographs.

    “This revised third edition of Clinical Ophthalmology is a compact, well-illustrated text … Ronald Pitts Crick and Peng Khaw are supported in this excellent publication by thirteen consultant ophthalmologists and research fellows whose contributions enhance the broad appeal and relevance of the text to worldwide ophthalmic problems.”
    Journal of Community Eye Health

     
    “This excellent publication is a practical guide to disorders of the eyes and their management. The text will be especially useful to students of medicine, ophthalmology and optometry and also to general practitioners (family physicians) and practising optometrists.”
    Optometry Today
     
    “This book is extremely well written and organized … it is so readable that sections may be helpful early on in training … Overall, this is a thoughtfully prepared, readable book that helps introduce ophthalmology in a systemic, comprehensive medical fashion.”
    Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology
     
    “This textbook of ophthalmology is a perfect companion to medical students in both problem-based learning and case-based curricula. It is rich in detail, covers the entire field of ophthalmology and includes 349 clinical and schematic illustrations; the numerous stereoscopic images of fundus conditions and external 3-dimensional lesions are a great bonus … It should be highly valued among students and could also serve as a reference text in the general practice office.”
