This clear and concise clinical manual provides a user-friendly guide to primary eye care. Jargon free, it removes the mystery and anxiety that most primary eye care providers so often feel when confronted by patients with emergency eye problems. Most commonly occuring eye problems can be safely managed in the primary eye care setting, using simple techniques of history taking and examination. This manual will give the practitioner, unfamiliar with ophthalmology, step-by-step instructions allowing a diagnosis to be reached, treatment given and referral to be made when appropriate. An essential purchase for general practitioners, accident and emergency departments, minor injuries units, optometrists, occupational health departments, first aid stations and all primary care providers routinely treating eye complaints.
