Manual for Eye Examination and Diagnosis

Description

Now in its tenth edition, Manual for Eye Examination and Diagnosis is the leading introductory clinical textbook in the field, providing concise and practical coverage of anatomy, instrumentation, differential diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmic diseases and disorders. This accessible resource offers clear explanations of current diagnostic techniques, equipment and best practice; hundreds of full-color clinical photographs and diagrams; and step-by-step guidance on a range of key procedures. Author Mark Leitman, a practicing Ophthalmology specialist with nearly five decades’ experience, provides the foundational knowledge required to excel on an ophthalmology rotation. This is a must-have companion for medical students and junior doctors, trainee ophthalmologists and optometrists, optometry nurses, and ophthalmic technicians.  Cover Title Page Copyright Page Contents Preface Introduction to the eye team and their instruments Chapter 1 Medical history Medical illnesses Diabetes mellitus Autoimmune (Graves’) thyroid disease Medications (ocular side effects) Allergies to medications Family history of eye disease Chapter 2 Measurement of vision and refraction Visual acuity Optics Emmetropia (no refractive error) Ametropia Refraction Trial case and lenses Trial frame Streak retinoscopy (“flash”) Manifest Contact lenses Candidates for contact lenses Fitting contact lenses Determination of lens power Types of contact lenses Common problems Refractive surgery Chapter 3 Neuro-ophthalmology Eye movements Strabismus Complications of strabismus Near point of convergence (NPC) (Fig. 85) Accommodative esotropia (Figs 86 and 87) Nonaccommodative esotropia (Figs 89 and 90) Measurement of the amount of eye-turn with prisms Prism cover test for measurement of eye-turn (Fig. 93) Hirschberg’s test Causes of strabismus Demonstration of paralytic strabismus (Table 5) Cranial nerves III–VIII Oculomotor nerve (CN III) Trochlear nerve (CN IV) Abducens nerve (CN VI) Trigeminal nerve (CN V) Facial nerve (CN VII Vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII) Nystagmus Optic nerve (CN II) Intraocular causes for loss of optic nerve fibers Extraocular causes for loss of opticnerve fibers Common brain tumors The pupil Sympathetic nerve Pupillary light reflex (Fig. 129 and inside back cover) Adie’s pupil (tonic pupil) Visual field testing Scotomas due to ocular and optic nerve disease Scotomas due to brain lesions (Fig. 138) Color vision Circulatory disturbances affecting vision Tests for decreased circulation Chapter 4 External structures Lymph nodes Lacrimal system Tearing (epiphora) Tearing due to failure of drainage system Failure of the tear to reach the puncta Obstruction at the puncta or canaliculus Tearing due to NLD obstructions Lids Blepharoptosis (also called ptosis) Lashes Phakomatoses Anterior and posterior blepharitis Chapter 5 The orbit Imaging Sinusitis Clues that may indicate disease of the orbit Exophthalmos Enophthalmos Chapter 6 Slit lamp examination Cornea Corneal epithelial disease Corneal endothelial disease Corneal transplantation (keratoplasty) Conjunctiva Sclera Chapter 7 Glaucoma Glaucoma vs. glaucoma suspect The iridocorneal angle The optic disk (optic papilla) Signs of nerve fiber damage Medical treatment (Table 11) Surgical procedures for open-angle glaucoma Angle-closure glaucoma Chapter 8 Uvea Malignant uveal tumors Inflammation of the uvea (uveitis) Anti-inflammatories Sarcoidosis Syphilis Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Sympathetic ophthalmia Chapter 9 Cataracts Laser-assisted cataract surgery Some complications of cataract surgery Chapter 10 The retina and vitreous Retinal anatomy The macula Fundus examination Fluorescein angiography The optic disk (papilla) Papilledema (choked disk) Pseudopapilledema Retinal blood vessels Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) Retinal artery occlusion Diabetic retinopathy Age-related macular degeneration Central serous chorioretinopathy Pseudoxanthoma elasticum Albinism Retinitis pigmentosa Retinoblastoma Retinopathy of prematurity Vitreous Retinal holes Retinal detachment Appendix 1 Hyperlipidemia Appendix 2 Amsler grid Index EULA
