Oftalmologi

Ögonboken är en efterlängtad svensk bok i oftalmologi som beskriver hur man praktiskt handlägger patienter med skador eller sjukdomar i ögat. Boken består av de tre delarna anatomi, undersökningsteknik och symtom. Under varje symtom återfinns ett antal tänkbara sjukdomstillstånd eller skador. Utifrån typiska patientfall beskrivs aktuella undersökningar och åtgärder, differentialdiagnoser samt förslag på behandling och eventuell uppföljning.

Boken innehåller också en nationell kursplan (core curriculum) som omfattar kunskapsmål och färdighetsmål för medicinstudenter. Målen är graderade enligt SOLO-taxonomi och markeras med en särskild symbol i anslutning till aktuellt avsnitt.

Ögonboken vänder sig framför allt till medicinstudenter, men även till AT-läkare, allmänläkare, ögonsjuksköterskor, sjuksköterskor, distriktssköterskor och optiker.
