"This is the new edition of the atlas lauded by Archives of Ophthalmology as one of the 'one hundred important ophthalmology books of the 20th century'. Atlas of clinical ophthalmology 3rd edition is an accessible and very rich visual guide to the entire spectrum of ophthalmic conditions. This award-winning atlas uses more than 3,400 outstanding full-colour photographs (1,000 of which are new), interpretative line drawings, and clinical descriptions to superbly portray a full range of common and uncommon eye disorders. It combines the highest-quality colour photographs, clinical descriptions and explanatory line drawings to provide a superb visual reference of ocular disease and their clinical signs. A team of world-renowned authorities systematically explore examination, investigation, and diagnosis, as well as relevant embryology, histology, pathology, and ocular manifestations of systemic disease. This edition reflects the most recent developments in clinical practice. This new edition contains the full range of material needed for post-graduate examinations in ophthalmology and covers the latest advances in ophthalmic imaging. It features contributions from many new experts who represent the cutting edge and also includes a CD ROM that makes all of the book’s images easy to incorporate into PowerPoint presentations." (Publisher)

"This new updated edition is a significant improvement on an already superb work: a seminal text made even better by recent updates. It is difficult to fault this wonderful reference text, which is clear, concise and easily understood for a general medical readership, yet still detailed enough to satisfy the needs of basic ophthalmic trainees."
