About this book
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.
Reviews
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)
