<p>The book comprehensively covers three aspects of diagnostic tests in eye care. It lays equal emphasis on the technology associated with the ophthalmic tests, on appropriate techniques to maximize the input and the clinical applications for comprehensive understanding and usage of ophthalmic diagnostic tests. The book also includes many newer diagnostic devices not described earlier such as teleophthalmology, homecare, and smartphone-based ophthalmic diagnostics.</p><p>The contributing authors are from renowned ophthalmic and optometry fraternities worldwide and are experienced clinicians and scientists.<br></p><p>It’s a must-have book for ophthalmologists, optometrists, and ophthalmic assistants, who want to stay abreast with the latest developments in the field.</p>

Covers newer diagnostic technologies, like optical coherence tomography-angiography, microperimetry & adaptive optics Discusses technology and techniques of smartphone-based ophthalmic diagnosis Includes detailed description of the clinical and diagnostic ophthalmic examination
