This manual on Feline
Ophthalmology is laid out in an easy-to-read and accessible style,
taking the form of a semi-atlas. There are many photographs and
illustrations with an accompanying up-to-date text, including
references, with practical tips and cutting edge information.
Step-by-step guides to minor procedures and surgical conditions provide
clear advice on techniques in general practice, with occasional
reference to what is available in referral practice.
Background information on anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology is
also provided, but kept to a reasonable level. This book contains
everything the clinician needs to know about eye-related problems in
cats.
The Manual is designed for veterinary surgeons in practice,
veterinary students and those with a particular interest in feline
ophthalmology. Photographs, illustrations, practical tips, up-to-date
references and step-by-step guides provide practical and clear advice
on diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions that frequently occur in
general practice with occasional reference to what is available in
referral practice. All in all, a reference book on everything a
veterinary surgeon needs to know on common eye disorders in cats, and a
key addition to the practice library.
