Now in its revised, updated Second Edition, this unique atlas is a practical, well-organized, and thoroughly illustrated guide to the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases.

good atlas for good price,

This review is from: Practical Atlas of Retinal Disease and Therapy (Hardcover)
I bought this book used for under $40. For the price, it was a steal. The book is about 8 years old now, some things are not uptodate with regard to treatments and a few other things (like I believe they refer to VEGF as angiogenic factor). However, as a good atlas with excellent pictures and good descriptions of disease states, I find it an excellent complement to a general ophthalmology atlas. There is also text on vitreoretinal surgery which is useful as a foundation for residents starting a retina rotation.

By JLamberthj@aol.com (San Diego, Ca.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Atlas of Retinal Disease and Therapy (Hardcover)
Three months ago, I recieved an opportunity to have my retinal detachment repaired by the author of this book. Dr. William Feeman. The surgery was performed at the Shiley Eye Center here in La Jolla, Ca. I am now almost completely recovered. I have always been very afraid od doctor's, and even though Dr. Freeman is up front and frank, I would not have wanted anyone else to perform my surgery. His book explains it all!! It is a Must Have for anyone suffering from any retinal disease or recovering from any retinal surgery. It REALLY explains it all. James Lamberth Jr. San Diego, CA. 92109
