Infos

Essentials of Veterinary Ophthalmology, Third Edition
offers an updated introduction to the diagnosis and clinical
management of ocular conditions in veterinary patients, providing
trusted information in a user-friendly format. The content of
the book is distilled from the fifth edition of the gold-standard
reference Veterinary Ophthalmology, emphasizing the
information most relevant to veterinary students and general
practitioners. Fully updated throughout, the Third Edition
focuses more strongly on small animals and horses, with streamlined
coverage of other species, and new chapters have been added on
morphology, physiology, and pharmacology.

Carefully designed to be equally useful for learning and in
practice, the book offers a streamlined, practical approach, with
bolded terms to enhance comprehension. High-quality color
photographs provide visual depictions of the conditions
discussed. Essentials of Veterinary Ophthalmology, Third
Edition is an indispensable resource for veterinary students or
clinicians wishing to hone their ophthalmology knowledge and
skills.

Rezensionen

"Photos, drawings, tables and decision trees help the reader to make the right decision throughout, from examination to medication. All you need in your daily practice." (Vet Nurses Today, 1 October 2015)

"In short, this book is a valuable resource for veterinary students and practitioners who would like a good general ophthalmology textbook and prefer to avoid the high price tag associated with the fifth edition of Veterinary Ophthalmology." (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 March 2015)
