This variety makes pediatric ophthalmology interesting and intellectually stimulating, but at the time somewhat daunting. The handbook series is designed to give the practitioner an easy to understand, succinct yet detailed reference on various subjects related to pediatric ophthalmology. The Handbook of Pediatric Retinal Disease is a practical resource on the diagnosis and management of both the most common and more esoteric retinal disorders. An in-depth chapter on electrophysiology of the eye (with an emphasis on hereditary retinal disease) is included. This chapter provides important information for deciding which tests to order and how to interrupt electrophysiology results. Children with retinal dis- orders often are faced with irreversible visual loss and even blindness. In these cases, even a seasoned physician often feels uncomfortable when speaking with the family. A beautifully sensitive chapter, “Breaking the News,” provides practical points to help the physician communicate both clearly and empathetically with the family. A broad range of retinal disorders are covered in this volume, with many color photographs to demonstrate the ophthalmo- scopic findings. Chapters in the handbook are reader friendly and are organized with clear sub-headings to guide the reader to their areas of interest quickly. Excellent color photographs and dia- grams illustrate the clinical points and help establish firm diag- nosis parameters. Extensive use of tables and information boxes simplify and summarize complex topics. Each chapter is fully referenced to provide evidence-based practice guidelines and further in-depth reading. v vi preface Another important use for the Handbook of Pediatric Retinal Disease is to serve as a basis for patient and family education. Information including diagrams and photographs from the handbook about their child’s specific retinal disease can be shared with the families. This important information is often lacking in general texts on ophthalmology and pediatrics. I hope you will find the Handbook of Pediatric Retinal Diseaseto be an invaluable adjunct to your pediatric practice. Kenneth W.
