Publishing News NEW VETERINARY OPHTHALMOLOGY BOOK AVAILABLE Being able to quickly and correctly diagnose and treat ophthalmic disease can be challenging for even the most experienced veterinary professionals due to the complexity of the eye and the conditions that affect it. It's this quandary that led Douglas W. Esson, BVSc, MRCVS, DVM, Diplomate ACVO, and clinical director at Eye Care for Animals to develop what he describes as a simplified, yet comprehensive overview of small animal ophthalmology for general practitioners. Published by Wiley-Blackwell and available on Amazon, Clinical Atlas of Canine and Feline Ophthalmic Disease provides an image-rich resource for diagnosing and treating ophthalmic conditions in clinical practice. The layout is organized for easy reference, with conditions grouped anatomically. For more information, visit wiley.com/WileyCDA/ WileyTitle/productCd-1118840771.html.
