ESSENTIALS OF OPHTHALMOLOGY

Essentials of Ophthalmology, 8th Edition by Samar K Basak is a concise undergraduate eye textbook aligned to the Competency Based Medical Education curriculum (NMC). It presents the whole of clinical ophthalmology in a bulleted, easy-to-read format, keeping descriptions tight while retaining detailed explanations of the medical and surgical management of eye diseases. Structured across 28 chapters, it runs from embryology and anatomy of the eye, physiology of the eye and of vision, neurology of vision and ocular pharmacology, through refraction and errors of refraction, to disorders of the eyelids, lacrimal apparatus, conjunctiva, cornea, sclera, uvea, lens, glaucoma, retina, optic nerve and orbit, along with ocular injuries, community ophthalmology and systemic ocular associations. A dedicated Ocular Pharmacology chapter covers drug delivery, antimicrobials, antiglaucoma medications, corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents and ocular preservatives. Learning is supported by a large clinical image set and by free DigiNerve digital content with video lectures, notes and self-assessment.
