In your hands you hold the fourth edition of the popular introductory textbook in ophthalmology, the first edition of which has been awarded the Asher Prize at the Royal Society of Medicine Books Awards. The contents of the book are divided into four parts. The first contains basic anatomy and physiology information.

The second part describes eye diseases through a primarily anatomical approach. The third deals with a collection of special topics: some related to diseases and others covering clinical management. The last section focuses on solving clinical problems.

The fourth edition has been fully revised, modified, and updated to ensure its relevance to people worldwide who are seeking an introductory text in ophthalmology. The chapters on "Special Examinations" have been written and illustrated from scratch to demonstrate how modern imaging devices aid in diagnosis and monitoring.

A new chapter addresses a variety of eye diseases on a global scale, and another provides an overview of eye problems in pediatric patients. Although this book was initially aimed at medical students, it is also a valuable resource for those practicing or studying in specialties related to ophthalmology, such as optometry, orthoptics, and ophthalmic nursing.
