P R EPREFACEF A C E

Fourth edition of the book has been thoroughly revised, updated, and published in an attractive colour format. This endeavour has enhanced the lucidity of the figures and overall aesthetics of the book.

The fast-developing advances in the field of medical sciences and technology has beset the presentday medical students with voluminous university curriculae. Keeping in view the need of the students for a ready-made material for their practical examinations and various postgraduate entrance tests, the book has been expanded into two sections and is accompanied with ‘Review of Ophthalmology’ as a pocket companion, and converted into a comprehensive book.

Section 1: Anatomy, Physiology and Diseases of the Eye. This part of the book includes 20 chapters, 1 each on Anatomy and Physiology of Eye and rest 18 on diseases of the different structures of the eye.

Section II: Practical Ophthalmology. This section includes chapter on ‘Clinical Methods in Ophthalmology’ and different other aspects essential to the practical examinations viz. Clinical Ophthalmic Cases, Darkroom Procedures, and Ophthalmic Instruments.

Review of Ophthalmology: Quick Text Review and Multiple-Choice Questions. This pocket companion provides an indepth revision of the subject at a glance and an opportunity of self-assessment, and thus makes it the book of choice for preparing for the various postgraduate entrance examinations.

Salient Features of the Book

Each chapter begins with a brief overview highlighting the topics covered followed by relevant applied anatomy and physiology. The text is then organized in such a way that the students can easily understand, retain and reproduce it. Various levels of headings, subheadings, bold face and italics given in the text will be helpful in a quick revision of the subject.

Text is complete and up-to-date with recent advances such as refractive surgery, manual small incision cataract surgery (SICS), phacoemulsification, newer diagnostic techniques as well as newer therapeutics.

To be true, some part of the text is in more detail than the requirement of undergraduate students. But this very feature of the book makes it a useful handbook for the postgraduate students.

The text is illustrated with plenty of diagrams. The illustrations mostly include clinical photographs and clear-line diagrams providing vivid and lucid details.

Operative steps of the important surgical techniques have been given in the relevant chapters.

Wherever possible important information has been given in the form of tables and flowcharts.

An attraction of this edition of the book is a very useful addition of the ‘Practical Ophthalmology’ section to help the students to prepare for the practical examinations.
