Produktbeschreibung

This text presents the range of clinical problems encountered by ophthalmologists in managing patients with diabetic retinopathy and provides an evidence-based approach to solving these problems. The unique features of the book include exposition with the perspective of evidence-based medicine. Exposition is grounded with clinical examples, and questions and discussions follow chapters to encourage thinking about problematic situations and areas of controversy. It also incorporates a wealth of information from the Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research network. The increasing frequency of diabetic patients in ophthalmic practice makes this a timely and practical reference for ophthalmologists and retina specialists.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"It is appropriate to review a new text on diabetic retinopathy for our readers. ... a nice test for the reader in applying knowledge and in recognizing some limitations. The text is richly illustrated throughout with color and schematics. ... Overall, the book succeeds admirably. ... It should definitely help all nonretinal specialists stay informed of a major and critical area of ophthalmology ... ." (American Orthoptic Journal, Vol. 60, 2010)
