Cornea

[ book probably came with video on disk - there may be on-line access ]

The subspecialty of cornea and external disease has undergone significant transformation since the last edition of Cornea. New diagnostic technology has vastly improved our ability to detect disease. New medications and other therapeutic options have changed the treatment paradigm for many disorders. And new surgical techniques have had a remarkable impact on surgical outcomes. Not only do these new procedures provide better outcomes but, in addition, we can now offer surgical options earlier in the disease process.

This edition of Cornea consists of numerous new chapters and extensive revisions of existing chapters, as well as many new surgical videos in order to keep pace with the dramatic innovation in our field. The editors and authors have strived to provide the most current material available for residents, fellows, clinicians, and researchers to help in the management of patients with cornea and external disease. We hope this edition will benefit patients for years to come.
