Welcome to The Handbook of Ocular Disease Management. This one-of-a-kind publication blends the academic rigor of a journal or textbook with the practical needs of the clinic.

For over 20 years, Review of Optometry has been pleased to bring you the Handbook as a special annual supplement to the print edition. Now in digital form, it’s even easier for you to read and use in daily practice.

All the content from the last five print editions is included here—covering 150 ocular diseases—easily searchable by category through the navigation bar at the top or the links to related content in each article. We encourage you to explore!

New content will debut here first on a regular basis to continually enhance the experience.
