Having used both Gelatt's and Ketring/Glaze's atlases, I feel that Esson's Clinical Atlas of Canine and Feline Ophthalmic Disease is the best ophthalmology resource for anyone working in the veterinary field. It is comprehensive, offering multiple photos of over 140 common eye problems that a veterinary worker may encounter. The page layout is incredibly user friendly providing comprehensive disease information in a way that does not overwhelm the reader. The information is also presented with a busy practice in mind! Each disease is introduced in a concise, yet thorough manner. There are a number of high quality photos (approximately four per disease) detailing each condition which I feel allows for a more likely comparison to what a practitioner may see when their patient presents for an evaluation. The number and quality of photos also makes it a useful reference tool for client education because of its user friendly layout. I feel Esson's atlas is a necessity for every veterinary library because it provides information to help identify disease processes, explains potential treatment options, possible treatment/drug side effects, as well as when drugs are contraindicated. It is remarkably innovative and has become an invaluable resource to my workplace.
This book is great for the busy practitioner who wants concise, accurate and up-to-date information on ophthalmic cases. Multiple pictures of each condition are very helpful in diagnosing conditions which may present differently in different patients. The description of each disease's presentation, diagnosis and treatment is clear and clinically useful (unlike some of the other veterinary opthalmic texts available.) I would definitely recommend this as the "go-to" book for ophthalmology in a busy clinic or for a practitioner who is just not very comfortable with eye cases.
This book is extremely organized and helpful for the general practitioner. It is a comprehensive review of the ophthalmic diseases you may encounter in practice. The pictures are very high quality and show the different variations in clinical presentation. I prefer this book to other clinical atlases in that it explains the disease process and treatment recommendations rather than just displaying pictures alone. Great addition to your clinical library!
This clinical atlas is exactly the type of reference for a general practioner of veterinary medicine like myself. This book is meticulously laid out and user friendly. The photos are high quality and the accomodating information of disease process are unlike any clinical atlas for ophthalmology. This is must have for any clinic. This has become a daily resource for myself and technicians alike. Well done.
