An Atlas Of Diseases Of The Eye PDF Download

Excerpt from Atlas of External Diseases of the Eye The plates in this Atlas are, with the exceptions mentioned in the text, executed from photographs of actual cases, most of which occurred in connection with my work at the Charlotte Street Branch Of the Glasgow Eye Infirmary; and were originally prepared to illustrate my lectures on eye diseases at Queen Margaret College. It is hoped that, in their published form, they may be found useful to medical men in general practice, who may not have many opportunities of visiting the wards and clinique of an ophthalmic institution. Obviously photographs present only the phase Of the disease exist ing at the time, and leave preceding and Subsequent stages unrepresented, while some conditions are too acute to permit of the patient's being photographed. L have therefore endeavoured to make the letter-press not only descriptive of, but also complementary to, the plates, so as to give as faithful a clinical picture as possible of all the diseases dealt with. The chromo-lithograph plates are from photographs taken, and coloured, from life by Mr. A. H. Geyer under my personal supervision, and have been reproduced on stone by Messrs. Maclagan Cumming, lithographers, Edinburgh, under the superintendence of Mr. William Cathie. The plates in photogravure are the work of Messrs. T. R. Annan, Glasgow.
