Main description:

This fourth edition presents ophthalmologists and trainees with the most recent developments and research in ophthalmic diagnostic procedures.

Beginning with discussion on assessment of visual acuity, each of the following chapters describes diagnostic investigations for numerous ocular disorders, covering both routine and advanced procedures.

Existing chapters from previous editions have been fully revised and four new topics added - fundus autofluorescence angiography, optical coherence tomography in retinal diseases, videonystagmography, and cerebral angiography in neuro-ophthalmology.

Neuro-ophthalmic disorders are covered in depth, with discussion on electrophysiological tests for visual function assessment, and pupil and ocular nerve palsies.

The comprehensive text is further enhanced by clinical images and figures.

The previous edition (9789350908525) published in 2014.
