Rezensionen

"This is a full color operative atlas on Glaucoma Surgery with an emphasis on technique. The pathophysiology and causes of glaucoma are well described. The use of stents and other devices is the major point in this step by step account of acute, chronic, closed angle and open angle disease. ... The role of medications is discussed. This is a good book on the techniques currently available." (Joseph Grenier, Amazon.com, April, 2018)
