5Preface to the Second Edition
It is gratifying to note that the first edition of Manual of Ophthalmic Diagnosis (2005) has been received well by those for whom it was written. Though the total number of chapters and basic texture remain the same, lots of changes have been made by addition of new text matter including recent advances, provision of uniformity in the format and colored illustrations with replacement and addition as and when necessary so as to make the updated edition more user-friendly.
It is my extreme pleasure to express my sincere gratitude to my valued colleagues for their appreciation and generous help as and when I have asked for it.
I am grateful to Prof Ranabir Mukherjee, Director, Eye Care and Research Centre, Kolkata, for his appreciation and encouragement.
I am indebted to Shri Jitendar P Vij (Group Chairman); Mr Ankit Vij (Managing Director); Mr Tarun Duneja (Director-Publishing); Mr Sandip Gupta (GM, Sales) and other members of Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd.
Finally, I must express my sincere thanks to all family members, including my son, Dr Imtiaz Ahmed, for their great moral support.

6Preface to the First Edition
Comprehensive textbooks with exhaustive details and biblio­graphy, sometimes comprising volumes varying between two to fifteen are available. But a small manual covering current knowledge and summarized details of clinical ophthal­mology is of immense value to residents, ophthalmolo­gists-in-training, postgraduates and practising ophthal­molo­gists and is extremely useful for day-to-day clinical work. With this view in mind, I embark on preparing the present small but compact volume. After a brief grounding in essential anatomy provided only with a suitable illustration as and when neces­sary, causes, salient clinical characteristics, diffe­rential diagnosis and investigation-strategy have been described following a definite format. As many as possible, colored, black and white photographs and diagrams are incorporated. A selected list of textbooks and journals have been added from where the author has collected materials. An exhaustive index has been prepared by me.
I gratefully acknowledge the help and support from the publisher, M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd., New Delhi. I am indebted to Shri Jitendar P Vij, Chairman and Managing Director as well as to Mr Tarun Duneja, GM (Publishing) who extended valuable support to prepare the book. My sincere thanks are due to Mr Sandip Gupta of Kolkata branch of Jaypee Brothers for immense help.
Finally, I express my heartfelt thanks to my family members for their unending patience and moral support throughout the fulfilment of the task of preparation of this book.
