Patient Pictures: Ophthalmology

Résumé du livre

Sight is perhaps the most important of the senses. Many patients who consult their doctor or optometrist with a visual disturbance have a genuine fear of blindness. Examination of the eye can reveal local problems, such as a cataract or glaucoma, but can also provide evidence of medical conditions including high blood pressure and diabetes. here are a variety of surgical and laser procedures now available to treat many eye conditions. the aim of this book is to help healthcare professionals explain these treatments simply and clearly to their patients, with the aid of informative diagrams and concise explanatory notes.
