Clinical Anatomy of the Visual System E-Book

by Lee Ann Remington OD, MS,FAAO, Denise Goodwin

Overview

Taking the place of the multiple texts traditionally needed to cover visual anatomy and physiology, Clinical Anatomy and Physiology of the Visual System, 3^rd Edition dramatically lightens your load by providing one book that covers it all! This concise, well-referenced resource contains information on the clinical anatomy of the eye, its adnexa and visual pathways, histologic information, plus newly added content on physiology of the human ocular structures. Vivid illustrations complement the text and provide clinical information on diseases and disorders that represent departures from normal clinical anatomy.

• Comprehensive physiology coverage clarifies the integration between structure and function, eliminating your need for multiple books on the anatomy and physiology of the visual system.
• An emphasis on clinical application helps you better understand the processes that occur in disease and dysfunction.
• Genetic information keeps you current with the latest developments in visual anatomy and physiology.

• Full-color illustrations throughout the text enhance your understanding of anatomical and clinical information.
• UNIQUE! Clinical Comment sections provide a solid foundation for recognizing and understanding clinical situations, conditions, diseases, and treatments.
• Photos of normal eye structures illustrate clinical appearance and demonstrate how appearance is directly related to structure.
• Geriatric coverage, including aging changes in ocular tissue and the visual pathway, keeps you up-to-date with the expanding field of geriatric care.
• UNIQUE! Expert coverage written by an actual optometrist gives you a practical framework for recognizing and understanding clinical situations, problems, and treatments.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Leo Paul Semes, OD (University of Alabama at Birmingham)
Description: This concise reference for the clinical anatomy of the visual system contains sufficient histologic information for the reader to appreciate microscopic structure and apply it to function.
Purpose: The book is intended as a source for clinical anatomy of the eye, its adnexa, and the visual pathways. This is a unique source for this information presented in a well-illustrated, well-referenced format. It offers a good balance between the microscopic anatomy and functional aspects of the eye and visual system.
Audience: The target audience is optometry students and ophthalmology residents. Although it will serve as a good resource for optometry students, residents in ophthalmology will use it more as a reference for overview.
Features: The strong point of the book is its illustrations. The drawings and figures (although most of the latter are borrowed) are useful and complement the text well. If there is a shortcoming among the illustrations, it is that the fundus photographs are in black and white. They would have more impact in color.
Assessment: This is a unique text slotted between the hard-core histology formats and superficial anatomical treatments. It is easy to read and user-friendly. The figures and illustrations complement the text and offer the reader clinical comments regarding diseases and disorders that represent departures from the normal clinical anatomy described.
