Ocular Traumatology
From the lid to the optic nerve of both mechanical and nonmechanical trauma, this unique book, edited by a world-recognized authority in the field, covers all aspects of ophthalmic trauma. Coverage incorporates cutting-edge approaches, such as temporary keratosprosthesis, artificial iris diaphragm, and prophylactic retinectomy. This book explains and answers not simply the when, the what, and the how, but also the why. The user-friendly format, including many tables, flowcharts and illustrations, allows readers to quickly find the information they need. In addition, all chapters are written using standardized ocular traumatology terminology.
