For four decades, General Ophthalmology has served as the most concise, current, and authoritative review of the subject for medical students, ophthalmology residents, practicing ophthalmologists, nurses, optometrists, and colleagues in other fields of medicine and surgery, as well as health related professionals. The fifteenth edition has been revised and updated in keeping with that goal. It contains the following changes from the fourteenth edition:
Major revisions of the chapters Uveal Tract & Sclera, Low Vision, and Ophthalmic Therapeutics and Appendices I-III
Significant changes in the chapters Neuro-ophthalmology, Lasers in Ophthalmology, and Ocular Disorders Associated With Systemic Diseases
As in past revisions, we have relied on the assistance of many authorities in special fields who have given us the benefit of their advice. In particular, we wish to thank our new author, Emmett T. Cunningham, Jr.
