E-raamat: Mindmaps in Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is a highly specialized field with complex conditions and a wide range of practitioners. They would all benefit from a tool that summarizes the topics with a logical pictorial structure that aids in memory retention. This text provides an overview of clinical ophthalmology using the visually driven "mindmaps" format.

Each page in Mindmaps in Ophthalmology summarizes a topic with a series of flow chart diagrams. Topics include:

• Parts of the eye, including the cornea and retina

• Common eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts

• Inflammatory eye disease

• Trauma to the eye

• Pediatric ophthalmology

• Oncology

With Mindmaps in Ophthalmology, clinicians can obtain information quickly, following pathways in each subsection of a topic. They are able to select the levels at which the mindmap divisions remain relevant to them, while still maintaining an overall picture that is often lost in textbooks or atlases. The practitioner is always able to put history, examination, diagnosis, and treatment in context. Suitable for medical students, ophthalmology trainees, orthoptists, optometrists, general practitioners and other health professionals, this rapid revision tool is an ideal companion when used in conjunction with a textbook for further elaboration on topics.
