Manual of Retinal Diseases ― A Guide to Diagnosis and Management

This book is a comprehensive source of authoritative information on the clinical features, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and management of medical and surgical retinal diseases. More than one hundred conditions are addressed in easy-to-read chapters that clearly convey the fundamental concepts with the aid of clinical photographs, imaging studies (including fluorescein and indocyanine angiograms, ultrasonograms, CT scans, and MRI scans), tables, flow diagrams, graphs, and charts. Important aspects omitted in some other texts are covered, including descriptions of procedures, outcomes of clinical trials, and follow-up programs. The authors are a panel of medical and surgical fellows from the United States with extensive experience in the management of the full spectrum of retinal diseases. The book will be of value for a wide range of practitioners and trainees, including students, residents, retina fellows, retinal specialists, and comprehensive ophthalmologists who treat retinal disease.
