Ocular Treatment: Evidence Based

Description

This manual is a complete guide to the diagnosis and management of ocular disorders and diseases. Divided into 35 sections, further divided by sub-specialty, the book presents more than 1000 common and uncommon conditions.

Each disorder is systematically arranged in a consistent format, beginning with a brief description, followed by clinical observation, laboratory diagnosis, and treatment. Drug dosage and administration are discussed in depth and each disorder concludes with a bibliography for further reading.

Disorders are listed alphabetically for quick reference, and can be searched either by anatomical region or by classification of the disorder.

Written by internationally recognized Frederick Hampton Roy, and co-author, Renee Tindall, both from Hampton Roy Eyecare, Arkansas; this comprehensive book includes numerous clinical photographs, diagrams and tables, to enhance learning.

Key Features

• The approach of the book is to take selected differential diagnosis from Ocular Differential Diagnosis (ODDX) and combine with Ocular Syndromes and Systemic Disease.
• This provides evidence-based differential diagnosis with listings with each item.
• Ptosis, for example, has large categories of congenial and adult-onset ptosis.
• These disease entities are divided into age of onset and then a descriptive list of possible causes are listed under each category.
• Although drug dosages and methods of administration have been scrutinized, it is important that each physician exercise his or her own judgment in the choice or use of a drug.
• The physician is advised to check the product information included in the drug’s package insert before drug administration.
• New data and individual clinical situations can change the drug regimen
