Average Rating 

“This very well-set-out handbook is ideal for those involved in triaging eye problems, enabling them to decide what to refer to an optometrist or ophthalmologist, and how urgently.” “a very concise and succinct handbook” "a fantastic companion for all clinicians involved in primary eye care. The authors accurately describe a variety of common ophthalmological conditions, which are carefully organized in order of their associated symptoms, allowing the reader to quickly identify the problem, thereby facilitating appropriate referral or management.” “A great practical book for working in the field. ... I particularly liked the opportunity to self-test online” “An excellent book providing well-summarized and easily accessible information. The key points and sections on referral urgency are particularly useful. An invaluable guide for students and practitioners alike.” “This would be a great companion for doctors and nurses in a primary care setting. It would help them to quickly check what they need to assess if a patient presents with an ocular issue, and also which presentations they should be referring to an ophthalmologist. Medical students would find it useful as well. It is well presented and easy to follow.”
