S. Olitsky – Pediatric Clinical Ophthalmology

Описание

This color handbook was conceived to fill a need
for pediatricians and primary care physicians not
completely met by existing encyclopedic
treatises on pediatric ophthalmology. Our intent
was to write a clinically oriented, cohesive text
that reviewed the signs, symptoms, and
treatment of common ocular diseases and
disorders in infants and children. Ocular
disorders are of major significance because they
often provide clues to the presence not only of
systemic diseases but also of other congenital
malformations. The recognition, understanding,
early treatment and, ultimately, prevention of
ocular diseases in childhood will have lasting and
gratifying effects for all physicians who care for
affected children.
We thank all of our contributing authors for
their knowledge and assistance in the
preparation of this book. In addition, we are
grateful to the publishers at Manson Publishing
for their guidance and patience in the
production and completion of this book. Lastly,
no book in the field of pediatric ophthalmology
could exist today without acknowledging the
memory of two outstanding pediatric
ophthalmologists, Drs Marshall Parks and
Robison Harley, who helped establish this
subspecialty and paved the way for all of us in
this field.
