Color Atlas Of The Eye In Systemic Disease

Featuring more than 400 full-color illustrations, this text is a unique combination of a color atlas of clinical ophthalmology and a quick reference guide to how the eye is affected by systemic diseases. In 159 chapters, the book covers every systemic disorder that has significant ocular complications. Each disorder is presented in a separate brief chapter, beginning with a general overview of the disorder, then a review of its systemic manifestations, followed by a review of its ocular manifestations, full-color photographs, and a suggested reading bibliography for the reader who wants more extensive information about that disease entity.
