This volume is unique. It offers a firm anchor in the immensetroubled seas of medical literature. The book is accompanied by afree, fully searchable, convenient-to-use CDROM. The three editorshave succeeded in harmonizing the input of the 64 highly competentand reputable authors who wrote the 53 chapters covering allsubspecialties in ophthalmology.
This valuable textbook starts with a well-structured glossaryand a section on the basics of evidence in medicine. The threechapters of this section enlighten the reader about the essentialsof medical evidence. The following 50 chapters on all areas ofclinical ophthalmology accumulate information which respects theprerequisites of scientific evidence, thus making the vastliterature much more manageable. Each chapter comprises a series ofrelevant questions which are followed by a paragraph of evidencefocussed on the problem, epidemiology, clinical considerations,management options and comments--altogether a very handyformat. Each chapter is concluded by a series of references onpublications at a high level of evidence. Major trials arecategorized in appropriate tables and integrated into the text. Aneasy-to-use index at the end of the book rounds off its contents.The book's price of GBP 90 is undoubtedly very good value. Ido hope this book finds a broad application for the benefit ofcritical patient care.
