This comprehensive, superbly illustrated textbook is aimed squarely
at veterinarians in practice and training interested in all types
of ophthalmic diseases and disorders. Species coverage is mainly
dog and cat with additional material on the horse and the cow.
Following an outline of the basic elements of ophthalmic science
relevant to study and practice, the author provides a detailed description
and discussion of each condition including aetiology, clinical signs,
diagnosis, prognosis and therapy, plus a chapter on problem-oriented
ophthalmology. Dr Martin has filled an important gap in veterinary
ophthalmic literature and has created a valuable resource, focusing
throughout on the clinical needs of the practitioner and the student.
