This book is a practical guide to paediatric ophthalmology for postgraduate medical students.Beginning with discussion on embryology and the development of ocular structures, the following sections cover the diagnosis and management of numerous common ophthalmic disorders encountered in children.Separate chapters are dedicated to genetics and ocular anaesthesia.The comprehensive text is further enhanced by clinical photographs, flowcharts and tables to assist learning.

Optics is the study of the behaviour and properties of light. A refraction test is given as part of a routine eye examination. The test tells an optometrist what prescription is needed in glasses or contact lenses.The new edition of this book is a comprehensive guide to the optics of the human eye and various errors of refraction, including their clinical presentation and management. Divided into eleven chapters, the text extensively covers the physical properties of light, reflection and refraction, curved optical devices, optics of the normal eye and errors of refraction, devices for optical examination, contact lenses, low vision aids, and refractive surgery.The second edition has been fully revised and updated to provide clinicians and trainees with a thorough understanding of the latest advances and technologies in the field.Key PointsPractical guide to optics of the human eye and management of refractive errorsFully revised, second edition providing latest advances in the fieldHighly illustrated with clinical photographs and artworksPrevious edition (9789351524502) published in 2014

Errors of refraction are the most common ocular disorders for which people seek ophthalmic consultancy. Manual of Optics and Refraction is a comprehensive guide to the optics of the human eye and various errors of refraction, including their clinical presentation and management. Divided into eleven chapters, the text extensively covers the physical properties of light, its modification as laser and fibre optic devices, various types of optical devices, their optics, errors of refraction and their clinical presentation and management.Manual of Optics and Refraction provides a comprehensive and clinically based guide to visual optics. The text offers a straightforward approach to the understanding of clinical optics, refraction and contact lens optics, making it useful to trainees, postgraduates and medical teachers, as well as practicing optometrists.Key PointsThe complex concepts of optics are given easy-to-understand explanations, enhanced by simple illustrationsOver 300 full colour and black and white illustrations, images and tablesCovers scientific principles, optical devices and refractive surgeries
