Doody Review Services Reviewer: Gerami D Seitzman, M.D.(Johns Hopkins Hospital) Description: This is an overview of the major subtypes of and issues in glaucoma. It is written in a question and answer format and contains multiple flow charts to assist in glaucoma decision making. Purpose: This book is intended to serve as a quick and concise reference for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of different types of glaucoma. Audience: It is targeted toward any general ophthalmologist. The question and answer format is particularly well suited for ophthalmology residents wishing to review the major topics in glaucoma. Features: There are 22 chapters representing different areas of glaucoma. Each chapter has a standardized format including definition, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and future considerations. Some very interesting and infrequently addressed issues, such as management of glaucoma during pregnancy, are included. The numerous flow chart algorithms nicely summarize much of the text and assist in rapid diagnostic and management decisions. The question and answer approach is an effective way of presenting information. However, it would have been helpful if the questions themselves were indexed either at the beginning of each chapter or in the table of contents. An additional shortcoming is the sparcity of clinical photographs. Assessment: This is a well organized, concise, and timely review of many areas of glaucoma. The question and answer format is practical and well executed and makes this book ideally suited for both reference and review.
