Review
the editors
have clearly played an important role in editing the chapters so that they are stylistically and semantically uniform. Additionally, the photographs are
excellent. The first two sections on 'Basic Principles' and 'Immunological Principles' could stand on their own as a separate text. Nowhere in the ophthalmic literature are these subjects more clearly explained
The section, 'Metabolic and Genetic Disorders,' is outstanding
The section on 'Tumors' is comprehensive
the book stands as a singular achievement. -American Journal of Ophthalmalogy
