    Le meilleur de l'OPHTALMOLOGIE en version eBook ! <br><br> Ce pack e-Book est composé des 3 ouvrages suivants : <br> Topographie cornéenne de Damien Gatinel <br> Manuel de strabologie de Nicole Jeanrot et François Jeanrot <br> Rétinopathie diabétique de Pascale Massin et Ali Erginay <br><br> L'achat de ce pack vous permet de bénéficier d'une remise de 31% par rapport à l'achat de chaque eBook séparé. Le prix affiché tient déjà compte de la remise. <br> Topographie cornéenne : La topographie cornéenne correspond à la représentation graphique, sous forme d'une carte, de certaines propriétés géométriques de la cornée (courbure, élévation, épaisseur). Cet ouvrage, le premier sur le sujet, expose dans un premier temps les éléments nécessaires à la bonne compréhension de la technique : terminologie, principes optiques, instruments, bases physiques. La seconde partie analyse des cartes topographiques cornéennes telles qu'elles sont utilisées en pratique courante : il s'agit de cartes typiques interprétées qui permettent au lecteur de répondre à l'essentiel des situations cliniques. <br> Manuel de strabologie : Les anomalies de la vision binoculaire entraînent des déficits visuels et sensoriels que l'examen strabologique permet de dépister. Diagnostiqués précocement et traités par une thérapeutique adaptée, ces troubles peuvent être pour la plupart corrigés. Afin d'aider l'ophtalmologiste et l'orthoptiste à établir le bon diagnostic et optimiser la prise en charge du patient, ce manuel, clair et didactique, est un outil indispensable à la pratique quotidienne. Après un rappel anatomique et physiologique, l'ouvrage aborde les méthodes d'examen et la stratégie thérapeutique la plus adaptée en fonction des principales pathologies que l'on rencontre en strabologie : amblyopie, hétérophories, strabismes et nystagmus, paralysies oculomotrices, torticolis oculaire. <br> Rétinopathie diabétique : Véritable ouvrage de référence en langue française sur la rétinopathie diabétique, ce livre constitue un guide pratique destiné à aider les ophtalmologistes et internes en ophtalmologie, ainsi que les diabétologues et les médecins généralistes à décrypter cette affection. Il est le fruit de l'expérience accumulée depuis presque vingt ans au sein de la consultation d'ophtalmologie-diab... de l'hôpital Lariboisière. <br>
