Reviews
This book is a second edition, renamed and modified, of a previous manual named ?Veterinary Ophthalmology?. This new book can be considered
essentially as a visual and pictorial presentation of the ocular diseases of animals.
The author, Keith Barnett is a well known
British veterinary ophthalmologist with a solid reputation of great experience in this field. As head of the comparative ophthalmology
unit of the Animal Health Trust (UK) for many years he made a substantial contribution to both small and large animal (mostly equine)
ophthalmology. One cannot present such a large collection of good illustrations without being an excel- lent clinician. In this book,
each condition is richly illustrated by several photographs of excellent quality. More than 700 photos in total make the book a very
useful tool in helping veterinarians to recognise ocular conditions.
Two points deserve special comment. The first relates to
the inclusion of photos illustrating ocular diseases of species other than dogs and cats and the second to the large development of the
chapter on retinal diseases. The latter will be very helpful for many clinicians who may have difficulty with the clinical differential
diagnosis of fundic lesions.
The book follows a classical classification of chapters. Chapter 1 covers the globe and orbit as
a whole. Chapters 2,3,4 and 5 cover adnexal conditions. Chapters 6, 7 and 9 are related to the anterior segment of the globe, chapter
8 deals with glaucoma. Chapters 10, 11 and12 cover the posterior segment of the globe. The author has chosen not to extend the text of
the captions of illustrations and not to enter into more precise descriptions of the lesions shown in the illustrations. In this new
edition, the reader will also find very useful descriptions and tables to help in the diagnostic process. This book can be recommended
to veterinary students and practitioners who will appreciate the help of illustrations in the diagnosis of ocular conditions in animals.
