Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"It is appropriate to review a new text on diabetic retinopathy for our readers. ... a nice test for the reader in applying knowledge and in recognizing some limitations. The text is richly illustrated throughout with color and schematics. ... Overall, the book succeeds admirably. ... It should definitely help all nonretinal specialists stay informed of a major and critical area of ophthalmology ... ." (American Orthoptic Journal, Vol. 60, 2010)
