In addition to in-depth text, there are flow charts for diagnostic protocols/procedures to aid in the diagnosis of suspected keratitis cases. The book contains an extremely comprehensive collection of high quality color photographs of virtually every eye affliction making direct comparison to clinical cases quite easy.

There is also an excellent chapter on "ophthalmology with respect to the pre-purchase examination" and a unique chapter on "conjunctiva, limbus, episclera, and scleral problems.
