Infos

Small Animal Ophthalmology: What's Your Diagnosis? is one of
the first books in an exciting new series that combines
problem-based learning, case studies, and questions and answers.
Designed specifically for veterinarians and students, the series
aims to present material in a format to enhance critical thinking
and understanding.

Adopting a case-based approach, chapters are built around common
ophthalmic presentations and are directed by questions to test the
reader's ability to interpret clinical history, ophthalmic
photographs and diagnostic results in order to provide differential
diagnoses, diagnostic plans and treatment options.

For veterinary students, this book is an ideal guide to how
ophthalmology cases are handled in the clinical setting. For
veterinary practitioners, it is an innovative and interesting way
to increase their knowledge and skills in clinical
ophthalmology.
