Main description:

Many new developments have taken place in ophthalmology since the publication of the last edition. It therefore became mandatory to revise and update the present edition. To accomplish this many new chapters have been added and the existing ones revised.

• Intravitreal VEGF Inhibitors and Corticosteroids
• Microbial Keratitis
• Esodeviations
• Recent Trends in the Management of Ocular Inflammation
• Evaluation of a Patient with Orbital Disease
• Basic Principles of Oculoplastic Surgery
• Advances in Lacrimal Surgery
• Fundus Fluorescein Angiography of Retinochoroidal Disorders
• Determination of Intraocular Lens Implant Power
