Eye Diseases in Hot Climates, 5th Edition

Publication date June 30 2015, IXBN-13: 978-1909836228

S.N. Rajak and J. Sandford Smith

I am the senior author of this comprehensive and well-established textbook of ophthalmology that has been the major training textbook for eye care workers throughout the Developing World since the first edition published in 1986. I have completely rewritten the new edition (2015) and added a large new collection of ophthalmic photos, illustrations and diagrams.

This text book is available from the Ulverscroft Foundation:
