Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

This concise source for the clinical anatomy of the visual system covers the clinical anatomy of the eye, its adnexa, and the visual pathways in a well-illustrated, well-referenced format. It balances histologic content of the microscopic anatomy with functional aspects of the eye and visual system. Clear illustrations complement the text and provide clinical information on diseases and disorders that represent departures from normal clinical anatomy.Full color illustrations throughout enhance the anatomical and clinical information.The only anatomy text written by an optometrist for optometrists and students - it provides a strong foundation for recognizing and understanding clinical situations, problems, and treatments.Clinical Comment sections have been expanded to include more clinical correlation comments and put knowledge of ocular anatomy into a practice perspective.Clinical appearance of normal structures is now included, with normal photos of the cornea, iris, lens, retina, etc., to show how appearance is directly related to structure.New information on aging changes in ocular tissue and the visual pathway keeps readers current with the expanding field of geriatric care and the changes that occur to normal anatomy.

This text is an excellent course in ocular anatomy for the optometry or ophthalmology student. I used it as an optometry student and it continues to serve me well in clinical practice. Logical, easy to read, and accessible, this text is a great foundation in understanding the eye.

I used this text heavily as a first year optometry student. The illustrations alone are worth the cost of the book. The combination of simple schematic diagrams and detailed artistic impressions of 3D structures such as the anterior chamber angle is perfect for gaining a "mental image" of what the eye looks like on all levels. I Highly recommend this book for 1st year students and those studying for NBEO.Chris Gilmartin, OD

This book is a great resource for the anatomy of the eye and is an easy read, not too overwhelming to begin reading. It is organized by each structure within the eye and gives concrete facts and numbers about thickness, fiber sizes, etc. Pictures are helpful, and include color histology slides with pictorial representations as well. "Clinical comments" are included in the text to help make the anatomy reading more clinically relevant.

Great book with very useful diagrams. I used it to prepare for the Optometry Boards Part1. It is not the most detailed but it's a great start to get a general overview of anatomy and histology.
