Description
As the first comprehensive reference for the eye, its support structures, diseases, and treatments,
Encyclopedia of the Eye
is an important resource for all visual scientists, ophthalmologists, and optometrists, as well as researchers in immunology, infectious
disease, cell biology, neurobiology and related disciplines. This four-volume reference is unique in its coverage of information on all
tissues important for vision, including the retina, cornea and lens. It also covers the physiological and pathophysiologic processes
that affect all eye tissues.
This Encyclopedia is invaluable for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are
seeking an introduction to an area of eye research. Each chapter explains the basic concepts and provides references to relevant chapters
within the Encyclopedia and more detailed articles across the wider research literature. The Encyclopedia is also particularly useful
for visual scientists and practitioners who are researching a new area, seeking deeper understanding of important research articles in
fields adjacent to their own, or reviewing a grant outside their immediate area of expertise.
