A clinically relevant book for the practising optometrist, this discusses the ocular manifestations of a wide range of systemic diseases. Each chapter revolves around a case presentation, beginning with a general introduction to the systemic nature of the disease entity and its epidemiology. The text places emphasis on the relevant tests and procedures the clinician would perform in order to establish a differential diagnosis and provides algorithms to guide the reader to an appropriate management strategy. Specific management of the ocular manifestation is addressed as well as ways in which the optometrist can assist the physician in managing the patient. The author also gives the reader a conceptual understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease process, and each chapter ends with an editorial comment which summarizes the salient points of the case and presents any controversies which attend its management.
