Excerpt from The Diseases of the Eye: Their Medical and Surgical Treatment
In the preparation of this work it has been the design of the Author to state as concisely and briefly as possible the present views of ophthalmic science. The endeavor has been to make the work practical and at the same time as thorough as the importance of the subject demands. The causes, symptoms, differential diagnosis, and treatment of those diseases which are more commonly met with in general practice have been fully considered. The methods of treatment described are those which have borne the test of hospital and private practice, and in the experience of the writer have been found of value.
Numerous illustrations have been introduced to better elucidate the conditions and operations described, and such as are not original have been selected from the standard works on ophthalmology, as well illustrating the points presented. Colored lithographs from the admirable atlas of Sichel and others have been added in the endeavor to more fully depict the diseases described and thus enable the student or practitioner to readily diagnose the various affections when presented.
The brevity of the book has prevented reference in the body of the work to the authorities consulted in its preparation, and a list has been appended.
A sheet of test types after the models of Snellen is furnished for the purpose of testing and recording the condition of the vision of patients.
I desire to express my thanks to Dr. C. F. Bassett for assistance rendered in the preparation of the Index and the reading of proof.
