Edited and written by internationally well-known experts, this state-of-the-art comprehensive overview of basic and clinical science enhances our understanding of retinal vascular disease. It will also help in the evaluation of current and future treatment approaches for the clinician in this highly relevant area, as vascular diseases of the retina are a major cause of blindness among all age groups. The well-structured and highly illustrated text is divided into three easy-to-follow sections. This unique textbook-atlas also includes topics which are not currently found in other retinal disease textbooks, such as case reports and clinical follow-ups. It offers step-by-step explanation of all treatment procedures and is richly illustrated with clinical images including illustrated single case follow-ups.
Industry Reviews
From the reviews:
"In this well-organized textbook, the authors start with a detailed review of the current basic science of retinal vessel development and pathology. ... This is especially useful for the busy practitioner. ... This is a book for ophthalmologists and non-ophthalmologists alike. ... Retinal Vascular Disease offers information to readers who do not have training in ophthalmology but are curious about a particular patient or condition. ... This text is as up to date as possible in both its clinical and its basic science reviews." (William V. Good, New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 358, April, 2008)
"This book on retinal disease is a welcome addition to the compendium of ophthalmic textbooks. ... the book to be useful for retina specialists, ophthalmologists, and doctors in training. The subject of angiogenesis is pertinent to all ophthalmic practitioners, both practicing and in training. ... Overall, this is a nice book written by many excellent authors. ... useful for clinicians and clinicians in training." (Daniel V Will, Doody's Review Service, May, 2008)
"This is a superb book, superb in its construction, presentation and quality of production. In addition, it is timely. ... Overall this is an excellent text, and will form the basis of a solid reference text for interested clinicians and clinical scientists. I thoroughly recommend it." (John Forrester, Graefes Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 247, 2009)
"It is produced delightfully, with a huge number of color illustrations incorporated into the text, and tastefully shaded abstracts with highlighted paragraphs of essential summaries. ... this book is an information-mine for present and future investigators, when preparing their own manuscripts and the reviewer is certain that he will frequently haul it down from his shelf. ... This is a very knowledgeable book." (Geoffrey Arden, Documenta Ophthalmologica, Vol. 117, 2008)
