Much of the diagnosis of ocular disease is based on the accurate observation and correct interpretation of clinical signs. The main purpose of this book is to acquaint the reader with the salient characteristics, causes and differential diagnosis of the many signs that may occur in ophthalmic disorders. The last chapter is devoted to systemic signs that may occur in diseases that have ophthalmic manifestations. Where appropriate, special investigations such as fluorescein angiography and MR are also included. The text is concise yet comprehensive and key colour-coded information is used to help the reader to navigate through each section. This book should be of particular interest to ophthalmologists in training and optometrists.
