Ophthalmology Clerkship: A Guide for Senior Medical Students

Description:

This quick-reference guide is the first book written specifically for the many third- and fourth-year medical students rotating on the ophthalmology service. The book focuses on the diagnosis and management of the most common pathologic entities. Each chapter covers history, physical examination, imaging, and common diagnoses. For each diagnosis, the book sets out the typical presentation, options for non-operative and operative management, and expected outcomes. Chapters include key illustrations, quick-reference charts, tables, diagrams, and bulleted lists. Students can read the text from cover to cover to gain a general foundation of knowledge that can be built upon when they begin their rotation, then use specific chapters to review a sub-specialty before starting a new rotation or seeing a patient with a sub-specialty attending. Topics covered include glaucoma, cataracts, retinal tears, macular degeneration, ptosis, strabismus, thyroid eye disease, and much more.

Practical and user-friendly, Ophthalmology Clerkship is the ideal, on-the-spot resource for medical students and practitioners seeking fast facts on diagnosis and management. Its bullet-pointed outline format makes it a perfect quick reference, and its content breadth covers the most commonly encountered problems in clinical practice.

Preface

Ophthalmology, the study of disease and surgery of the eye and visual systems, is an intricate and rewarding field with direct impact on patients. Pathology of the eye and periorbita significantly impacts patients’ activities of daily living and quality of life and is associated with a variety of systemic conditions including infections, malignancies, and metabolic derangements. As a result, an understanding of the fundamentals of ophthalmic physiology and disease processes is beneficial to physician trainees of all persuasions.

The following compilation introduces and summarizes the ophthalmic anatomy, examination, and clinical evaluation. The material begins with an overview of ocular anatomy, which is closely entwined with visual function, and a brief discussion of optics. The remainder of the text is organized into traditional ophthalmic subspecialties, some of which may be defined anatomically (i.e., cornea and retina) while others focus on a specific pathophysiology (i.e., glaucoma or uveitis). Oculoplastics and neuro-ophthalmology encompass the study of the structures surrounding and supporting the eye itself. Overlap in content among these chapters reflects the interplay of ophthalmic anatomy and physiology among sub-specialties and highlights each discipline’s unique perspective and considerations.

Ophthalmologic annotation makes frequent use of esoteric jargon and abbreviations not commonly shared with other medical specialties. This unique terminology can be an obstacle to students first studying ophthalmology. The text discusses and defines specialty-specific terms as they become relevant so that students can develop a familiarity with the language commonly encountered on an ophthalmology rotation.

We hope that the following text serves as a practical companion to your ophthalmology clerkship and provides an immersive introduction that inspires further learning.
