Systemic Diseases and the Eye

Jack Kanski is arguably the best-known author in ophthalmology worldwide. His textbook Clinical Ophthalmology, published by Butterworth-Heinemann, is a competitor to our Spalton, and is the current textbook of choice for ophthalmology trainees and optometrists worldwide. He is also the author of our extremely successful Ophthalmology: Clinical Signs and Differential Diagnosis, published in 1998 under the Mosby imprint. His previous projects have mainly beenpublished by Butterworth, but he has come to Harcourt because of our style of presentation and strong presence in the US ophthalmology market.
