Description
Elsevier Basic Science Refraction, And Pathology The Requisites In Ophthalmology by M E Smith
"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.
