Excerpt from Hand-Book of Diseases of the Eye: A Text-Book for Students and Practitioners
The object in presenting this small volume on the eye is to place before the student and the busy practitioner in a concise manner the results of recent investigations and their practical application. All unnecessary details have been omitted, and yet the common eye diseases and their treatment have been sufficiently elaborated.
The special chapter on bacteriology has been incorporated because of the great aid in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment we obtain from the bacteriological examination of the acute inflammatory diseases of the eye.
The chapter on refraction gives the details of modern methods necessary for preliminary work in this subject, and will serve as a groundwork for the finer tests which only experience can bring.
The chapter on the sclera gives the latest investigations on the tuberculous origin of most forms of inflammation which attack this structure, also some points on tuberculin therapy. As an appendix to this chapter the Calmette ophthalmo-tuberculin reaction and the von Pirquet cutaneous test are considered as methods of diagnosing tubercular diseases of the eye.
The chapter on the relation of the eye and the nose is a new departure in a purely ophthalmic text-book. It has become necessary because of the numerous eye affections now known to be dependent upon pathological conditions in the nose.
A formulary has been appended which contains forty-one practical prescriptions, which will be of value to the practitioner.
