fm7Contributors Foreword
fm9A wise man once said ‘nothing succeeds like success’ and in my view, the definition of success is hard work, combined with the blessings of your elders and the will of God. All these three components are there with Dr Anina Abraham and Dr Sirisha Senthil, with whom I had the pleasure of working together at Maxivision Eye Hospitals, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. The first edition of Clinical Ophthalmology Made Easy® by them was such a success that they are going for the next edition. At my age of 63, I feel academic activities by some among us are a gift and they both are gifted to that extent.
The book I found to be extremely useful as an excellent and concise pocket book for quick reference in a clinical situation. Having done thousands of procedures and having got involved in many technical advances in eye care, I still keep the book with me in all my travels for a quick reference. When I was a resident, then after all the degrees, I still continue to be a resident meaning, the learning process never ends. Lastly, my observations are that the young ophthalmologists are far more informed and talented than us, the old ones and I am sure that these young oculists will contribute further to better the book.

Preface to the First Edition
fm13 Clinical Ophthalmology Made Easy® is a condensation of information on a wide range of topics from major textbooks in the respective fields of ophthalmology. It aims to simplify the difficult topics and give the reader a practical and concise summary for better understanding. The book is primarily meant for postgraduate students for whom it will be a quick reference in preparing for the examinations and for the practicing ophthalmologists in dealing with common problems in day-to-day practice.
Each chapter has been divided into etiology, pathology, clinical features, management and follow-up. Diagrams, tables, and flow charts have been added where necessary to add clarity. Although it provides information on most topics, we wish to caution readers that the book should not be a substitute for detailed reading from standard textbooks.
We hope to constantly update information in the future editions for which we need your constant support, encouragement and constructive criticisms. We sincerely wish that the book will be a useful addition to your library.
