The Eye in Primary Care: A Symptom-Based Approach

By Hunter Maclean and Hunter MacLean FRCS(Ed) FRCOphth

Taking a very practical approach looking at how the patient presents, and addressing each sign separately this book gives the GP a summary of what to look for and what diagnosis to consider in each case. Decision-making pathways are provided, giving a clear structure to the diagnostic process and a summary of the steps to follow, and colour illustrations highlight the main features to look out for.

With this handy guide, the trainee and busy GP should feel confident in diagnosing and treating patients whether they present with a red eye, sudden loss of vision or ocular trauma, and will ensure they can make an informed decision on how to treat or when to refer to a hospital service.
