Preface

Rapid Ophthalmology is crafted to offer a concise, clear and accessible overview of ophthalmology. Primarily, the book is aimed at medical students, especially to complement ophthalmology firms and exam revision. It is not designed to be a textbook but rather a source for quickly finding facts about ophthalmology. For example, one could easily have a copy in clinic and look up a disease using a patient’s presenting symptoms. Whilst revising for exams the book provides an extremely efficient resource with sections tailored specifically towards differential diagnosis, assessment and OSCE exams. This book, however, has a value beyond most revision textbooks. It is a book that will not be defunct on the shelves of a junior doctor or even a general practitioner. I have intended this book to be such that it that contains the information needed for the nonspecialist to diagnose, manage and refer those presenting with ophthalmological conditions. Finally, there is the cohort who desire to pursue ophthalmology as a career. This book would serve that cohort well as they begin to attain knowledge in preparation for a career in ophthalmology.
