The 6th edition of the book is being brought out with the sole objective of providing the students and practitioners of ophthalmology with easy-to-read and perceive material useful for them. While retaining the previous material new chapters have been added. The chapter on psychosomatic disorders has been added keeping in view that more and more stress-related pathologies are seen which simulate organic diseases. Lasers have been described to acquaint the reader with the latest therapeutic tool. A chapter on special investigations dealing with ultra-sound automatic perimetry ophthalmodynamometry and fluorescein angiography has been added to keep in tune with the rising needs of investigative procedures and the newer tools available for such investigations.
The chapter on ocular therapeutics has been revised and split into two separating the ophthalmic prescriptions to enable one to easily refer to them in day-to-day practice. Many newer therapeutic drugs have deliberately not been added because of their still not being established and are too dangerous to use like cytotoxic and immunosuppressive drugs in the management of uveitis. The book has tried to keep clear of various aetiological clinical therapeutic and surgical controversies.

Verified PurchaseI am a first year student pursuing MBBS. I am really grateful to medioks for being student oriented. I was looking for a book but I couldn't find it anywhere in the market. The high demand of the book made it very costly to afford online but when I found it on medioks, I was so happy to get? the original book at a reasonable cost.
