Rapid ophthalmology

A brand new title in the ''Rapid'' series, providing a concise, structured approach for students preparing for ophthalmology examinations 

Presents a thorough foundation of ophthalmology knowledge, emphasising clinically relevant information, in the familiar 'Rapid' series format where diseases are presented in alphabetical order so aiding quick look-up of conditions 

Ideal for use in busy clinical settings, such as clinics and hospital wards, while on rotation 

Includes a companion website at www.wileyrapids.com/ophthalmology containing a range of clinical images in PowerPoint format
