Description
This text examines the vascular anatomy and physiology of the eye as well as the assessment of ocular circulation in health and disease.
It offers a cutting-edge analysis of the eye's blood supply and how it is affected by conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular
degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. 425 illustrations -- including 250 in full color -- detail anatomy, techniques, the results
of imaging studies, and more.
Audience
Ophthalmology practitioners, residents and Optometrists.
