Book Description

Excerpt from Atlas and Epitome of Ophthalmoscopy: And Ophthalmoscopic Diagnosis The great value of Professor Haab's Atlas of Ophthalmoscopy and Ophthalmoscopic Diagnosis has been fully established, and entirely justifies an English translation of his latest edition. Not only is the student made acquainted with carefully prepared ophthalmoscopic drawings, done into well-executed lithographs, of the most important fundus-changes, but in many instances plates of the microscopic lesions are added. The whole furnishes a manual of the greatest possible service, not only to the beginner in ophthalmic work, but to one who has already far advanced and desires to compare the observations of his own service with those of the rich clinic from which Professor Haab has gathered his plates. A few figures have been added by the editor - namely, those showing Angioid Streaks in the Retina, and the Ophthalmoscopic Appearances seen in Arteriosclerosis. As in the Atlas of External Diseases of the Eye, produced under the same editorship, occasional comments are placed in brackets. It is sincerely trusted that this book will prove of great use to those who desire to study and teach ophthalmology.
