Sinopsis

The Requisites in Ophthalmology series serves as a vital resource for the learning and training needs of ophthalmology trainees and practitioners. This volume covers the three major basic sciences of ophthalmology: pathology, physiology, and refraction, and how they relate to all the clinical subspecialties. It links pathology to each segment of the eye and describes developmental defects and ocular manifestations of systemic diseases. Through detailed color and black-and-white illustrations, it centers on the general anatomy of each eye segment and its corresponding physiology. A comprehensive section on refraction uses diagrams and illustrations to show how the different components of the retinal image are produced by the eye. This book is excellent for the learning needs of all ophthalmologists, and it helps residents in training from being dependent on weekend cram courses as a way to ingest this extremely important, but dense science background. Covers the pathology of each eye segment (including intraocular neoplasms) as well as developmental defects, ocular manifestations of systemic diseases, and their respective clinico-pathologic correlations Explores the general anatomy of each eye segment and examines its corresponding physiology. Describes the essentials of optics and refraction, and discusses the optics involved in popular eye procedures such as intraocular lens implants and corneal refractive surgery. Uses abundant diagrams, black-and-white illustrations, color photos, and drawings to make every concept clear. Features all the elements that have made previous Requisites in Ophthalmology volumes so popular-including summaries of major points, boxed information highlights, plentiful artwork, and a focus on the most necessary material.

Acerca del autor

Morton E. Smith is the most renowned ocular pathologist in the world. Most authors consider it a coup just to have Dr. Smith write a foreword to their book because of the power associated with his name alone. His current appointments are as follows: Professor of Ophthalmology, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, Madison, Wisconsin; Chairman, Residency Review Committee for Ophthalmology; and Professor Emeritus of Ophthalmology and Associate Dean Emeritus, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis. Also, Dr. Smith serves on the Board of Directors for the American Board of Ophthalmology. Amonghis honors as a gifted educator are the six times he has been awarded Teacher/Professor of the Year as voted by his students at various institutions where he has held appointments.

Marilyn C. Kincaid was chosen by Morton Smith to write the Basic Science section based on her expertise as an instructor in the basic sciences in Ophthalmology. Her current dual appointments are at the Anheuser-Busch Eye Institute of St. Louis University School of Medicine as Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology and Pathology and at the Southern Illinois University Eye Center. She serves as a reviewer for the American Journal of Ophthalmology and Editor of the newsletter for the American Association of Ophthalmic Pathologists.

Constance E. West was alsochosen by Morton Smith based on her experience in teaching residents in Ophthalmology. She currently serves as the Director of the Electrophysiology Lab at the Childrens Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio and is on staff as a Pediatric Ophthalmologist at the Cincinnati Eye Institute. It should be noted that she was selected by her peers for the "Best Doctors in America" publication in 1996.
