This book provides a concise, practical guide to the management of endophthalmitis for busy ophthalmic clinicians. It includes many tips, tricks, clinical pearls and colour photographs to illustrate various aspects of diagnosis that can be quickly referred to when assessing patients. Endophthalmitis in Clinical Practice, 2nd Edition utilises an easy-to-follow ‘cookbook’ style to ensure that information can be rapidly and efficiently obtained for the best possible care of patients with endophthalmitis. In addition to the concise writing style, the compact size of this book means that it can be kept in an on-call bag and can be easily consulted to in clinical practice. New topics in this second edition include the role of systemic antibiotics, steroids in the management of endophthalmitis, non-infectious inflammation, endoscopic vitrectomy as well as updates on infectious keratitis associated endophthalmitis including the roles of photodynamic therapy and microbial diagnostics.

In the last 30 years, the field of vitreoretinal disease has rapidly evolved into a complex medical/surgical specialty that incorporates a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. Even for specialists, it is difficult to keep up with the constant flow of new clinical information; for the general ophthalmologist it is almost impossible. This book fills the gap by offering an up-to-date, clinically oriented, one-volume source that covers the full spectrum of medical and surgical vitreoretinal diseases. Although comprehensive in scope, the book is designed to highlight important points and "pearls" of information in a modern essentials format, making it ideal for everyday use by the specialist and generalist alike. This beautifully illustrated text begins with a basic overview of ocular embryology, anatomy, and physiology, and moves on to the latest diagnostic tools, individual disease states, and specific vitreoretinal procedures. Throughout, there are important management tips and guidelines that can easily be applied in everyday practice.
