Overview

A good working knowledge of paediatric eye disease, detection and treatment is essential to effectively screen for the commoner disorders, and to refer appropriate children early on to an ophthalmologist. Primary health care workers have an important role to play in preventative ophthalmology. The aim of this book is to provide the general practitioner and paediatrician with a clinical guide to eye disorders affecting children. It presents a practical, methodical approach to eye examination in children, and discusses relevant and common childhood eye disorders, with the emphasis on prevention, early recognition and management. The approach to the examination of the eye of a child, the tests involved and the information yielded at each step differs to adult ophthalmological evaluation. The spectrum of paediatric eye disease is dissimilar to adult disorders - this book will reflect these differences.
