The Ophthalmology Examinations Review (3rd Edition)
The Epidemiology of Eye Disease (3rd Edition)
by Tien Yin Wong, Wesley Guang Wei Chong, Zhu Li Yap & Saadia Farooqui (Singapore National Eye Centre, Singapore)
edited by Gordon J Johnson (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK), Darwin C Minassian (University College London, UK), Robert A Weale (King’s College London, UK) & Sheila K West (The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA)
Review of the First Edition: “Unique in its format, this review is both intentionally didactic and repetitive and focuses on most commonly addressed examination subjects ... Each topic is introduced in question format and the key learning points then summarized succinctly. This style of presentation is unique and particularly useful to those preparing for oral examinations, as it clearly breaks down general questions for easy and organized responses. Additionally, the margins contain several examination tips, which may be useful in studying for written and particularly oral examinations ... Overall, the format and organization of this review book sets it apart from others. Despite potential differences between the American and British training and examinations, this review may be useful as an adjunctive study guide in preparation for the American boards or the OKAP.” American Journal of Ophthalmology In the new edition, topics such as new understanding of disease mechanisms, new investigations (e.g. OCT), and new procedures and treatment (e.g. use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors, new refractive surgical techniques, new corneal transplant) are covered. 550pp Apr 2019 978-981-3221-00-0(pbk) US$68 £56 978-981-3220-99-7 US$128 £106

Questions and Answers in Neuro-ophthalmology A Case-Based Approach by Andrew G Lee (Houston Methodist Hospital, USA & University of Texas, USA), Nagham Al Zubidi (Houston Methodist Hospital, USA), Arielle Spitze (Houston Methodist Hospital, USA), Sushma Yalamanchili (Houston Methodist Hospital, USA & Weill Cornell Medical College, USA) The book presents the most common problems seen in neuroophthalmology in a case-based learning format that provides rapid access and is easy to read. The user friendly format guides and stimulates the reader to identify the distinctive symptoms in the main complaint and history; to define the differentiating signs on neuroophthalmic exam; and to describe the key laboratory or neuroimaging in specific entities. It also challenges the reader to ask additional questions of themselves and others by providing an initial set of questions and answers on specific neuro-ophthalmologic topics. The questions chosen are meant to simulate “real world” questions in the clinic; the answers given serve to provide both the rationale for the correct answer and the explanations or reasons for the incorrect but plausible answers that might distract or mislead a clinician in specific neuro-ophthalmic cases. 280pp 978-981-4578-77-6(pbk) 978-981-4578-76-9

Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography (2nd Edition) A Color Atlas by Kelvin Y C Teo, Chee Wai Wong, Andrew S H Tsai, Daniel S W Ting & Dan Milea (Singapore National Eye Centre, Singapore) edited by Shu Yen Lee & Gemmy C M Cheung (Singapore National Eye Centre, Singapore) Foreword by: Tien Yin Wong (Singapore National Eye Centre, Singapore) This book is written for retinal specialists and clinicians with a special interest in retinal diseases. It presents a collection of images and brief annotations of the microstructures of both the normal and diseased eye captured on swept source optical coherence tomography.
For Medical School and Beyond
The swept-source OCT is a relatively new form of imaging and is able to capture structures and details which previous generations of OCT machines cannot. This type of imaging represents the forefront in ocular imaging. This second edition includes a new chapter on optic nerve conditions and more cases on eye conditions that were imaged with the SS-OCT. It also showcases the use of swept-source OCT for OCT angiography.
edited by Ray Manotosh & Victor Koh (National University Hospital, Singapore)
Readership: Retinal specialists, clinicians with special interests in retinal diseases.

Textbooks & Reference Titles in Ophthalmology: New & Bestsellers 2019 Bestsellers & Notable Titles Emergencies in Neuro-Ophthalmology A Case Based Approach
Driving with Confidence A Practical Guide to Driving with Low Vision
by Andrew G Lee (The Methodist Hospital, USA), Paul W Brazis (Mayo Clinic, USA), Mansoor Mughal (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, USA) & Fabiana Policeni (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, USA)
by Eli Peli (Harvard Medical School, USA) & Doron Peli
The management of emergent neuro-ophthalmic conditions can be a life-saving encounter for the general ophthalmologist. This book covers life-threatening scenarios that a general ophthalmologist might encounter, and is designed to help the ophthalmologist make emergency triage decisions for initial evaluation and treatment of potentially vision- or life-threatening conditions.
“Driving with Confidence fills a large gap in the low vision literature and provides a clearly written discussion of viable options and alternatives for driving with low vision ... because countries outside the US are also dealing with these same issues regarding drivers with low vision and the use of optical enhancement devices, I believe the material contained in Peli and Peli would be of strong interest internationally.” Visual Impairment Research
This textbook provides a concise, easy to read, and practical guide to the emergent evaluation of neuro-ophthalmic conditions. It is designed to be a quick read and not to be all-inclusive or comprehensive.
Readership: Visually impaired people and their families, optometrists, ophthalmologists, low vision researchers, legislators, DMV administrators and laypersons.
Readership: Residents and fellows in ophthalmology, practicing ophthalmologists.
