Description
CBS Publishers & Distributors Beyond Ophthalmology by Nema H V
This book is a unique contribution to our understanding of the ethical problems in ophthalmology. It briefly describes how ophthalmology is being practised in the present time. With inroads of technology, the ophthalmic surgery has become far more commercialised and profit-oriented than ever before. Kickbacks, self-referrals, dubious advertising, and ill-informed and unwarranted LASIK surgeries have tarnished the image of ophthalmology. Is there a radical solution to free ophthalmologists from this malady? Beyond Ophthalmology analyses the causes of the malady and suggests some practical solutions to redeem the lost glory of this wonderful discipline. 1. Introduction 2. Medical Education 3. Clinical Practice of Ophthalmology. 4. Ophthalmic Surgery 5. Research and Publication in Ophthalmology 6. Confraternity 7. Ethics and Medical Practice 8. Professional Discipline 9. Legal Aspects of Ophthalmology.
