Description:... This clinically-oriented text provides comprehensive coverage of common systemic diseases and their ocular manifestations. An appendix includes information on rarer disorders. The book is thoroughly illustrated and all clinical chapters present information in a consistent format including the disease definition, epidemiology, natural history, diagnosis, and treatment and management. Clinical pearls will be added to this edition, and there will be a greater use of tables and figures to emphasize material and add new information in a concise manner. New chapters on Downs syndrome, alcohol and drug abuse will be added, and there will be new material on HIV/AIDS, carotid artery disease, laboratory testing, x-rays and drug interactions.
