Summary:

Common eye conditions can often present with a variety of symptoms and signs, and can be a challenge for the inexperienced trainee or practising GP. For the patient, the symptoms can cause great anxiety, and a quick and confident diagnosis will soom reassure.

Taking a very practical approach - looking at how the patient presents, and addressing each sign separately - this book gives the GP a summary of what to look for and what diagnosis to consider in each case. Findings and action points are highlighted, and colour illustrations detail the main features to look out for.
