Catania’s Primary Care of the Anterior Segment

This book has become an iconic textbook in eye care over many years and multiple editions having originally published in 1986. Considered one of the classic, definitive books for comprehensive anterior segment diagnosis, treatment, and management, this new edition includes a new chapter on pre- and postop management of cataract and refractive surgery and primary care of Glaucoma, which is a major part of primary care optometry today, along with updates on proprietary therapeutic drugs, and technology additions such as amniotic membranes, injectables, and minor in-office procedures. It contains high-quality photos, 6 clinical DX and RX appendices, an index of more than 1800 items, and 74 tables, making this an accessible resource for clinical practitioners.
