This book is intended primarily for medical students and junior doctors preparing for examinations (regardless of whether they are medical or surgical). In addition we hope that general practitioners and non-ophthalmic consultants who care for patients with eye diseases will find this book invaluable in its simplicity and clarity. We have tried to create a balanced, up to date, practical book. Blackwell’s have supported our need for extensive colour pictures
and diagrams which characterize this ‘visual’ subject.
