Now in its thoroughly updated second edition, The Wills Eye Drug Guide is the most complete, convenient reference currently published on diagnostic and therapeutic ophthalmic medications. It fits into a pocket, includes more drugs than the ophthalmic physicians' desk reference, and provides all the facts the prescribing physician needs on dosages, mechanisms of action, side effects, and contraindications. The book is organized so that clinicians can quickly look up information either by drug or by diagnosis. This edition covers 150 new medications, contains a new chapter on contact lens solutions, and includes an appendix describing topical medication dosing for children. Drugs are grouped by major clinical use—antibacterial; antifungal; antiviral; antiparasitic; antiglaucoma; neuro-ophthalmologic; anti-inflammatory; mydriatics, cycloplegics, and reversal agents; lubricants and viscoelastics; miscellaneous agents; and contact lens solutions. Coverage includes therapeutic regimens for specific bacterial and fungal infections, glaucoma, and neuro-ophthalmologic conditions. Appendices cover topical antibacterial spectrum; preparing fortified topical antibiotics and oral acetazolamide solution; antifungal activity spectrum; renal dosing for selected drugs; glaucoma medication preservatives; and titrating topical drops for children. A product index is also included.
