Author Description

This 2-volume set is the most comprehensive, authoritative, and up-to-date reference on vitreoretinal macular diseases available. Coverage begins with an in-depth exploration of clinical examination and diagnostic methods--including such advanced modalities as ICG angiography and 3D ultrasonography. Next, 100 individual chapters examine specific retinal disorders, including tumours. The final 26 chapters address specific surgical techniques and surgical disorders of the retina. Over 2000 illustrations (including more than 800 in full colour) reinforce important content, eliminating the need for a companion atlas. Clinico-pathologic correlations from Dr. Green's outstanding, personal slide collection allow readers to match appearance to biology of the disorder. Crisp, original artwork clearly illustrates surgical techniques. Chapters devoted to specific clinical entities provide quick, convenient consultation. The internationally renowned contributors represent a veritable 'Who's Who' among the world's ophthalmologists.
