This book elucidates the principles of sound clinical examination in ophthalmology. Based on the author’s extensive teaching experience, it makes the case for arriving at a diagnosis through detailed clinical examinations, including history taking, knowledge of clinical epidemiology, and using only the most relevant clinical tests. Starting with basic chapters on relevant statistics and clinical epidemiology, the book covers history-taking, visual function assessment, slit lamp examination, and examinations of each important field (e.g. the lids, orbit, cornea, iris and pupil, glaucoma patients, sclera, lens, posterior segment, pediatric patient and neuro-ophthalmology) in separate chapters. Full of practical tips on examining patients at the clinic, the book also describes the rationale behind each clinical test and its interpretation. It is also hoped that teachers who come across this book will evaluate students on the basis of these relevant clinical examinations rather than quizzing them on esoteric clinical tests that are not routinely used and are of little clinical value. This book is intended to help all ophthalmologists, beginners and veterans alike, improve their clinical examination thinking and skills.

Based on a highly successful series of articles published through the "Optician" journal, this text outlines the range of clinical ocular investigative techniques available to the optometrist and dispensing optician. High-quality, full-color illustrations accompany clear descriptions of all clinical procedures associated with effective ocular examination, from the basics of how to use the slit lamp to more complex visual field assessments such as the examination of ocular blood flow. Clinical, comprehensive and contemporary, this practical text relates knowledge to practice by outlining the benefits, advantages, disadvantages, and pitfalls of each procedure, as well as when and where to use it. This book is an invaluable clinical handbook for anyone involved in the examination of the eye. Content builds from the basics, detailing easier procedures and concepts before moving on to more complex clinical ocular investigative techniques. An evidence-based approach frequently cites expert sources. Original articles from the Optician series have been extensively edited to form an easy-to-follow, cohesive book on investigative techniques. Key point and summary tables highlight important points for quick reference. Practical advice is offered on procedures and interpretation of results, with tips on potential pitfalls.

The crucial part of clinical examinations is for the candidate to demonstrate the ability to elicit physical signs and make sensible inferences, not to diagnose every rarity. This book aims to help candidates during the revision period leading to postgraduate examinations to develop a systematic approach to investigating a whole range of common ophthalmic problems.

"Ophthalmologists in the early years of training are faced with the task of becoming familiar with a host of procedures, instruments, investigations and examination skills which are sometimes never formally taught. There are many textbooks on ophthalmic diseases, but few accessible handbooks on clinical skills. This book cuts through the bewilderment felt by the new trainee and presents the practical, clinical skills and techniques of ophthalmology in a clear and accessible manner."--BOOK JACKET.
