Small Animal Ophthalmic Atlas and Guide

The Majority Of Ophthalmic Conditions Selected For Inclusion In This Book Are Those That Present Frequently In General Practice. A Smaller Number Of Less Common Conditions Are Also Included Because Of Their Significant Impact On Vision And/or Overall Health Of The Eye, Or Because They Can Appear Similar To (and Should Be Differentiated From) More Common Conditions. The Purpose Of This Book Is Not To Describe Every Known Small Animal Ophthalmic Disease, Nor Is It Intended To Be An Exhaustive Review Of The Diseases Included In The Book. Because This Is Intended To Be A Quick Reference, Each Chapter Includes Only Enough Background Information To Facilitate Discussion Of Each Ocular Disease, Most Of The Information Is Designed To Support Immediate Management, And Ophthalmic Procedures Are Not Discussed In Detail. (for Example, Detailed Directions For Ocular Surgeries Should Be Sought From Other Texts.) As A Guide For Those Who Wish To Delve More Deeply Into Specific Ophthalmic Conditions, Each Chapter Contains A List Of Suggestions For Further Reading. For This Second Edition, Each Chapter Has Been Updated To Include Relevant Advances In Understanding And Management Of The Included Ophthalmic Diseases. In Addition, The Number Of Images Has More Than Doubled. I Hope These Changes Will Make This Book More Valuable For Daily Practice--
