The Holy Bible of Neuro-Ophthalmology
This edition of Walsh and Hoyt's Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology should be in every medical school's library, and on every neurology and ophthalmology residency training program's bookshelves, since it is the definitive resource for neuro-ophthalmology, and is actually both readable and exhaustive at the same time.

Good Beginner Text
This book is a good beginner textbook for both Ophthalmology and Neurology residents.It leaves some questions to be answered for those interested in more detail.However, this is what the book is intended for.It is after all a companion book to the full series.

Easily readable and well presented
Pictures are good and the lucid explanations for the seemingly difficult aspects of the subject are striking points of this book ... Read more

Product Description
Based on their extensive teaching experience, and written for both residents in training and practicing clinicians, this new book offers a simplified yet comprehensive approach to central neuro-ophthalmologic problems faced in everyday practice.The text covers major clinical problems and defines an inclusive, yet relatively brief, list of causes that can produce each problem. The authors avoid the standard decision-tree approach and, instead, define an easy-to-use and easy-to-learn best fit approach. The patients signs and symptoms are compared to those detailed for each of the possible causes for that particular major clinical problem. ... Read more

Product Description

This exceptionally important new work represents recent discoveries and advancements in the study of ocular transporters and their roles in ocular physiology, pathology, and drug delivery. Transporters are found on the membranes of cells and play a key role in transmitting signals between cells. In Ocular Transporters in Ophthalmic Diseases and Drug Delivery, a panel of distinguished authors discusses all the latest developments in the study of ocular transporters. Focusing on the molecular characteristics, localization, and substrate specificities in various compartments of the eye, this volume discusses how transporters regulate the clarity of the cornea and lens, the movements of fluids across the ciliary epithelium, and the transport of nutrients across the retinal pigment epithelium. It also provides an in-depth look at how mutations or dysfunction of specific transporters can contribute to various disorders in the eye, including blindness, and provides readers with potential targets and strategies to allow safe passage of therapeutic drugs into the eye. Ocular Transporters in Ophthalmic Diseases and Drug Delivery is the first text book in this field and offers up-to-date information to clinicians, research scientists in academia, and the pharmaceutical industry. This work has clinical implications for drug development and therapeutic drug delivery, making it an invaluable resource for readers.

Product Description

The press, in both professional medical journals and mass media and, is overflowing with conflicting reports and sometimes confusing data about the costs of medical malpractice litigation. Incontrovertible is the fact that for physicians in daily practice, these questions are not merely academic. A lawsuit can wreak havoc on a clinician’s professional and personal life.

In Risk Prevention in Ophthalmology, many of the questions surrounding medical malpractice are answered clearly, concisely and pragmatically for physicians, but physicians. Written with an emphasis on clinical matters, with a minimum of “legalese,” this book shows ophthalmologists how to avoid law suits in the first place. How truly informed are your patients after signing your consent forms? Do your patients have rational, reasonable expectations regarding outcomes? Are your history-taking and record keeping habits leaving you exposed? Are you sufficiently careful with documentation?

Should you find yourself involved in litigation, chapters written by physician attorneys provide insights into both the defendant and plaintiff perspectives. Among the more helpful chapters, “Natural History of a Lawsuit,” walks the reader step-by-step through the procedure. (This chapter is like ground rounds for legal issues.)

Covering the legal issues for all of ophthalmology, Risk Prevention in Ophthalmology provides the busy clinician with the tools necessary to reduce not only the risk of potential lawsuits, but also insights for coping with actual ones.

Product Description
This third edition of Visual Fields: Examination and Interpretation contains revisions and updates of earlier material as well as a discussion of newer techniques for assessing visual field disorders. The book begins with a short history of the field of perimetry and goes on to present basic clinical aspects of examination and diagnosis of visual field defects in the optic nerve, optic disc, chorioretina, optic chiasm, optic tract, lateral geniculate field bodies, and the calcarine complex. Additional aspects of visual field examination are explored including those of monocular, binocular, and junctional field defects, congruity vs. incongruity, macular sparing vs. macular splitting, density, wedge-shaped homonymous field loss, and monocular temporal crescent. Various new techniques of automated perimetry are also considered including SITA, FASTPAC, and SWAP. In all, this volume provides a very useful overview of the techniques, both old and new, of visual field examination in a multiplicity of eye disorders and as such will be of interest to all ophthalmologists, neuro-opthalmologists, retina specialists, and optomestrist. ...
