Digre (neurology and ophthalmology, U. of Utah School of Medicine) and Corbett (neurology and ophthalmology, U. of Mississippi School of Medicine) wrote this text to help practicing physicians learn to better use the optic disc to diagnose neurologic and systemic conditions; it is also intended as a teaching text for medical students on the fundus of the eye and the use of the disc. The accompanying CD-ROM contains the entire contents of the book in a browser-based format; many of the b&w photos from the text appear in color on the CD. The CD is meant to be studied with the book, and it contains mini-tutorials. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
