The eye is one of the most precious organs of the human being. With them we can see the world around us and any condition related to this part of the body affects us in our daily lives. Hence the relevance of one of the current medical specialties that specifically treats the eye. We present to you in this section our anthology of ophthalmology books in PDF format. With them you will be able to investigate basic notions and data of scientific interest.
The first treatise on ophthalmology was the Sushruta Samhita, written by the Indian physician Sushruta between the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. It describes more than 70 diseases of the eye, including 51 requiring surgery, such as cataracts. It also explains the use of certain surgical instruments and some ophthalmologic procedures. In Ancient Greece, there were also hypotheses about the composition of the eye. In our ophthalmology books you will find interesting information about this important medical area.
Ophthalmology is the medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions. Eye diseases may require treatment with medications, such as allergies, infections and inflammations, such as styes. But others may require surgical intervention, such as myopia, glaucoma or cataracts. Ophthalmology should not be confused with optometry, which treats vision problems such as astigmatism or strabismus.
People should go for an ophthalmologic exam periodically, at least once a year. In this way, it is possible to avoid eye problems in time and work on the prevention of serious diseases that could lead to total loss of vision.
