With volume 8 of the Textbook of Ophthalmology , the editors have accomplished their goal of "packaging today's relevant ophthalmic knowledge" of external diseases into a resource that is "manageable, readable, and affordable." The volume is organized into 15 chapters compiled by noted authors and contributors. The subject matter is diverse, ranging from relevant basic science material to specific up-to-date, step-by-step guidelines regarding surgical procedures, including commentary on complication management.

Excellent supplemental line drawings are used to impart the maximum amount of information |
