Rezensionen

"The text of each chapter is well written in a structured and colloquial style, providing an excellent introduction to the eye, with clear explanations and problem-oriented approach. ... This is an excellent learning aid for anyone searching for a basic introduction to Ophthalmology and remembering the relevant key points. ... Essential for general practitioners as well as medical students, we highly recommend it." (Carsten H. Meyer, Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 256, 2018)
