Clinical Anatomy of the Eye has proved to be a very popular textbook for ophthalmologists and optometrists in training all over the world. The objective of the book is to provide the reader with the basic knowledge of anatomy necessary to practice ophthalmology. It is recognised that this medical speciality requires a detailed knowledge of the eyeball and the surrounding structures. The specialist's knowledge should include not only gross anatomic features and their development, but also the microscopic anatomy of the eyeball and the ocular appendages. The nerve and blood supply to the orbit, the autonomic innervation of the orbital structures, the visual pathway, and associated visual reflexes should receive great emphasis. The practical application of anatomic facts to ophthalmology has been emphasised throughout this book in the form of Clinical Notes in each chapter. Clinical problems requiring anatomic knowledge for their solution are presented at the end of each chapter. Illustrations are kept simple and overview drawings of the distribution of the cranial and autonomic nerves have been included.

Book is very helpful in studying the anatomy of the eye, I can see where my lecturers get their images from.

Clearly laid out

This book has enough detail to allow me to really grasp, understand, and retain the information. 400 or so pages seemed a lot to read for neuro-ophthalmologic anatomy, but because the subject is logically laid out and clearly written, I actually find it much easier to digest than some of the others I've tried. I am mastering eye anatomy using Snell's Clinical Anatomy of the Eye.

An excellent starting point for ophthalmic anatomy

This is the book for all those people who find the need to cover a lot of ophthalmic anatomy (with good sections on neuroanatomy) in a relatively short space of time. For all those people who've taken one look at Wolff and run screaming for the hills. Whether you're studying for a masters, for the anatomy primary in ophthalmology or maybe even doing optometry, this is a great book. Good diagrams, focussed chapters and clear writing all stand out. There's not so much detail that you drown in it (like Wolff) but it's also not so light that you feel the need to look everything up in a bigger book - although some things will require a bit more searching in other books.

Small enough to digest, big enough to get a good understanding of the anatomy. For everyone looking for a place to start with ophthalmic anatomy, START HERE!!!

Enttäuscht

Das Buch an sich ist inhaltlich genau was ich suche, präzise und knappe Anatomierklärung, kam pünktlich im angegebenen Zeitraum an, ist aber leider vom Gebrauchstatus her sehr schlecht ! Das sollte vorhin im Buchdetails mitgeteilt werden sonst ist das ein Betrug wenn man dafür noch 77 Euro zahlt !
