Kanski's Clinical Ophthalmology E-Book: A Systematic Approach 9th Edition, Kindle Edition

by John F. Salmon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 238 ratings
See all formats and editions

Through eight outstanding editions, Kanski’s Clinical Ophthalmology has been the classic specialty textbook, providing the perfect ophthalmology foundation for trainees and a valuable reference source for experienced practitioners. Building on the previous edition by Dr. Brad Bowling, Dr. John Salmon from Oxford University has comprehensively revised the textbook. The 9th Edition retains Dr. Kanski’s highly effective format of succinct text and visually dynamic presentation, providing authoritative, focused guidance on the diagnosis and management of ophthalmic disorders. Extremely well organized and comprehensive in scope, this visually stunning book reflects the latest advances in the field, facilitating quick comprehension to enhance learning, aid exam preparation and guide clinical practice. As a general ophthalmic textbook, this is the gold standard.

  • Uses targeted text, bulleted lists, tables, and visual aids to highlight salient points across all ophthalmology subspecialties.

  • Includes 2,600 illustrations, including more than 1,000 new images of common and rare conditions and arrows to show the exact pathology.

  • Features detailed updates on new therapeutic interventions for neurological disease and ocular tumours; new imaging techniques such as OCT, OCT angiography, and MRI; and new topics such as circadian rhythms, graft vs host disease and the effects of Ebola virus infection on the eye.

  • Presents examination techniques in a new, separate chapter and contains new "tips" on key issues in every chapter.
  • Provides up-to-date information on hot topics such as intravitreal treatment with anti-VEGF agents for macular disease, genetic advances in hereditary retinal dystrophies, the use of biological agents in the treatment of uveitis and scleritis and new surgical advances such as MIGS for glaucoma and limbal stem cell grafting.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good text with poor editing

This is a great introductory book for an intern or first year ophthalmology resident. It's a much better introduction than the BCSC with plenty of pictures and simple explanations. I really enjoyed it and refer back occasionally to refresh on the basics. You're going to need a denser text to supplement.

There are an embarrassing number of spelling and grammar errors, graphs with the default "series 1" and "series 2" labeling, and other weird formatting. Not really things you would expect to find in the 9th edition of a textbook but I guess the publisher has a small audience is just trying to make a quick buck.

Das Buch ist ja bekannt als Lehrbuch für Augenheilkunde.

Achtung! Das Buch (fast 3 kg) ist nicht eingeschweißt, das bedeutet die Hardcover-Ecke können bei dem Transport geschädigt werden. Es ist der Fall jetzt bei meiner Bestellung.
