Description
In Focus Ophthalmology is aimed at all medical and health science students who require an introductory, low cost and highly illustrated guide to this specialty. The material is presented in double page spreads. The left-hand page has a synoptic and highly structured text (normally under the following headings: incidence; clinical features; differential diagnosis; management; prognosis). The right-hand page has a selection of four to six clinical photographs.
Ophthalmology In Focus is a convenient pocket size and therefore ideal for quick preparation before ward rounds. Each volume also includes self-assessment material, which is extremely helpful for preparation for examinations.
Because of shorter hospital stays and more outpatient treatment, students are less likely to be able to see the full range of conditions on the ward - the books in this series help supply that deficit.

Audience
Primary: Medical and Nursing students; Secondary: Nurse Practitioners and other Allied Health Professionals.

Contents
Approximately 70 double page spreads with brief structured text on the left hand page and colour illustrations on the right hand pages, showing a range of ophthalmic conditions. Also, approximately 60 pages of picture tests along with full explanatory answers.
