"Veterinary Ophthalmology: A Manual for Veterinary Nurses and Technicians" is the first book written specifically for nurses and technicians who have an interest in ophthalmology. It presents information on the key areas in a practical and user-friendly way and demystifies what is for many a particularly daunting area of veterinary medicine. Aimed at nurses and technicians of all levels of experience, "Veterinary Ophthalmology" provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of veterinary ophthalmology for trainees, those working in general practice, and specialist referral centres. Chapters on anatomy and physiology and ocular pharmacology provide a firm base from which to explore the practicalities of the ophthalmic examination. Specific aspects of medical and surgical nursing and common ophthalmic problems are discussed with the emphasis always on the nursing requirements of the conditions presented. There are also chapters dedicated to specialist ophthalmic procedures and inherited ocular problems. A comprehensive glossary covers some of the complex terminology found in veterinary ophthalmology.
Full colour illustrations are presented throughout the book and provide an invaluable visual aid. This book is a key text for anyone with an interest in treating ophthalmic conditions and can be used for quick reference as well as being easy and enjoyable to read in its entirety.
