The Moorfields Ophthalmology Handbook is one of the most widely used ophthalmology guides and an important reference text for a variety of professionals (ophthalmologists, optometrists, and general physicians). It originates from the most respected ophthalmic hospital in Europe and is based on the second edition (the first in the Greek language), which has been thoroughly updated with the latest developments in ophthalmology. It presents the subspecialties separately and covers clinical examination techniques, diagnostic and therapeutic methods, and surgical procedures where necessary.

Its revised content helps in the better approach and management of common as well as rare ophthalmic diseases. The hundreds of high-quality photographs - with new photographic material for the second edition - allow for the recognition and diagnosis of these diseases. The texts with clinical techniques serve as a useful aid for trainees to develop their skills, while the updated guidelines facilitate general physicians as well as optometrists in determining when and how to prioritize referrals.

Finally, the appendices included provide a quick reference to emergency cases and practical advice for everyday ophthalmic issues of patients.
