This book from CBS Publishers & Distributors is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Dr. Nitin Nema and Dr. S.C.L. Chandravanshi, covering ophthalmology (नेत्र विज्ञान) for undergraduate medical students. It is written as per the latest CBME guidelines — the competency-based undergraduate curriculum for the Indian medical graduate — which is the syllabus MBBS students are now taught and assessed against.
The title describes the structure honestly. The basic component covers the anatomy and physiology of the eye and the optics and refraction that everything else rests on; the clinical component covers the diseases in the order a student meets them — disorders of the lids, lacrimal apparatus, conjunctiva and cornea, uveitis, cataract and lens disorders, glaucoma, the retina and vitreous, the optic nerve and neuro-ophthalmology, squint, ocular trauma and ocular emergencies, along with community ophthalmology and the national programme for control of blindness. Keeping the basic sciences attached to the clinical material matters in this subject: a student who has not understood accommodation or aqueous dynamics cannot reason through presbyopia or glaucoma, and separating the two makes both harder.
The CBME alignment is the practical reason to prefer a current edition here. The curriculum specifies competencies — including the procedures a student must be able to demonstrate and the AETCOM components — and a book written to it lets a student check coverage against the same list the examiner uses, instead of hoping an older textbook happens to include everything. The book is illustrated with clinical photographs and diagrams throughout, which in ophthalmology is not decoration: fundus and anterior segment appearances are examined by recognition. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.
