Book Description
5* Doody`s Review: 98/100!
Featuring a new author team, this seminal book has been completely updated and significantly expanded. Following an outline of the basic elements of ophthalmic science relevant to study and practice, the authors provide a detailed description and discussion of each condition including etiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy, as well as a section dedicated to presumed inherited eye disorders. The focus throughout remains on the clinical needs of the practitioner and the student.
Beautifully illustrated in full color, the book is aimed at trainee and practicing veterinarians interested in all types of ophthalmic diseases and disorders. Although the focus is on small animals, there is additional material on the horse and the cow. For this edition, a diverse group of authors from many geographic regions of training and practice offer a breadth of clinical expertise.

Reviews
The new edition of Ophthalmic Disease in Veterinary Medicine is the ideal textbook for trainee and practicing veterinarians needing a quick reference in their daily work. Expert veterinary ophthalmologists will also appreciate this updated completely revised edition, the achievement of a teamwork involving three authors and five contributors, outstanding members of the international veterinary ophthalmology community. Hundreds of beautiful pictures and drawings facilitate a quick, easy, practical consultation and allow direct comparison to clinical cases. For each ophthalmic disease and disorder, the authors provide a detailed description of diagnosis, aetiology, clinical signs, prognosis and therapy. Although the main focus is on small animal species, the readers will appreciate the interesting comparative notes on the horse and the cow, and a section dedicated to presumed inherited eye disorders. Ophthalmic Disease in Veterinary Medicine deserves a special space in the library of everyone interested in veterinary ophthalmology. Actually, it is a book to leave on your desk for daily use, so that you can read the notes and show the pictures to owners to help explain what is happening in their pet’s eyes.

The most recent edition of Ophthalmic Disease in Veterinary Medicine is a welcome addition to the body of literature in veterinary ophthalmology. This text is certainly straightforward and pragmatic enough to be valuable in the library of the general practitioner. But such a statement belies the 700 pages of depth, detail and scholarship that the specialist in veterinary ophthalmology will find extremely useful and informative; indeed, this text will become required reading for my ophthalmology residents. It is obvious that this work has fallen under the watchful eye
