This book is part of a series of ophthalmic monographs, written
for ophthalmologists in training and general ophthalmologists
wishing to update their knowledge in specialised areas. The
emphasis of each is to combine clinical experience with the
current knowledge of the underlying disease processes.
Each monograph provides an up to date, very clinical and practical
approach to the subject so that the reader can readily use the
information in everyday clinical practice. There are excellent illustrations
throughout each text in order to make it easier to relate
the subject matter to the patient.
The inspiration for the series came from the growth in communication
and training opportunities for ophthalmologists all over
the world and a desire to provide clinical books that we can all use.
This aim is well reflected in the international panels of contributors
who have so generously contributed their time and expertise.
