A Pathology of the Eye

Abstract

Every attempt has been made to correlate the microscopic appearances with the ophthalmoscopic findings and this adds very considerably to the interest and usefulness of the book, but one or two of the coloured illustrations are so disappointingly blurred that it is surprising that they were passed for publication.The fundus pictures are first referred to in the text to illustrate points in the description of a particular disease.There is also a description of each picture set out in a separate section.Nothing could be better than this form of cross-reference and, by looking at the picture first, making up a legend for it, and then comparing that with the printed description, the student can improve his knowledge and powers of observation.While nothing can replace the living fundus as seen with an ophthalmoscope, this book goes very near to performing the impossible.
