This reference was first published in 1981; now a hefty two-volume set, the fifth edition continues the mission of providing comprehensive, up-to-date coverage. Gelatt (emeritus, U. of Florida) and two associate editors--Gilger (North Carolina State U.) and Kern (Cornell U.)--have shaped the work of some 60 contributors and organized the material in sections on basic vision sciences, foundations of clinical ophthalmology, canine ophthalmology, and special topics (e.g. ocular manifestations of systemic disease, and feline, equine, food animals, rabbits, exotic animals). An integrated index appears in both volumes. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Veterinary Ophthalmology, Fifth Edition is a fully updated version of the gold-standard reference for diseases and treatment of the animal eye in veterinary medicine. With an internationally renowned list of contributing authors, the book has been revised and expanded to incorporate the most up-to-date research and information. New chapters cover ophthalmic genetics and DNA tests, microsurgery, photography, camelid ophthalmology, and rabbit ophthalmology, and existing chapters feature expanded coverage of noninvasive imaging techniques, feline ophthalmology, equine ophthalmology, and marine mammals and penguins.
The book retains its classic structure, with sections on basic vision sciences, the foundations of clinical ophthalmology, canine ophthalmology, and special ophthalmology, which encompasses specific coverage of most commonly treated species and chapters on neuro-ophthalmology and systemic diseases. A companion website offers the images from the book available for download in PowerPoint and the references linked to PubMed. Veterinary Ophthalmology remains the most comprehensive resource for authoritative information on veterinary ophthalmology worldwide and is a key reference for anyone interested in veterinary or comparative ophthalmology.
