About this title

Review

Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 42, Issue 2 -- "If terms such as efficacy, effectiveness, relative risk ratio, absolute risk reduction, and number needed to treat are difficult for you to define, then Evidence-Based Eye Care is for you. This unique book is an overview of significant clinical studies that support the current standard of care in the various ophthalmic subspecialties. Significant information is provided that will be uniquely valuable to a wide audience. Importantly, the three main causes of blindness in the developing countries (age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma, are well covered. Residents reviewing the major subspecialties for board exams, comprehensive ophthalmologists keeping abreast of all areas of ophthalmology, and subspecialists interested in future direction of their area of focus, or the implications of major studies outside their area, will all find this book a good reference. It is an excellent guide to our clinical decision-making process and a valuable resource for critical appraisal of future studies." -- Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology
