- Contains more than 230 algorithms with accompanying explanations, covering common general signs and symptoms as well as specific eye disorders, organized by subspecialty area
- Covers all ophthalmic subspecialties, including orbit and lid, neuro-ophthalmology, pediatrics and strabismus, cornea and external disease, lens/cataract, glaucoma, posterior segment, trauma, and tumors
- Color-coded for ease of understanding, helping you differentiate between the key information to gather and questions to consider, actions to take, and any relevant differential diagnoses
- Provides step-by-step guidance for diagnosis of common complaints like vision loss, double vision, eye pain, red eye, and tearing; evaluation for elective procedures such as cosmetic eyelid surgery and refractive surgery; the latest treatment for dry eye disease, glaucoma, macular degeneration, childhood myopia, and retinopathy of prematurity; the use of ophthalmic viscoelastic devices and advanced technology intraocular lenses; management of refractive, cataract, and glaucoma intraoperative and postoperative surgical complications; approaches to traumatic injuries and non-accidental trauma; and much more
- Shares the knowledge and expertise of editor Dr. Neil J. Friedman, who is joined by section editors who lend a well-rounded perspective across ophthalmic subspecialties: Drs. Ore-Ofe O. Adesina, Zaina Al-Mohtaseb, Ann Caroline Fisher, Peter K. Kaiser, Timothy J. McCulley, and Ann Shue
