Editorial Reviews

Review

"The flexible handy pocket-sized booklet. helps the busy clinician to quickly gain information about clinically relevant diagnosis. extremely helpful for students and ophthalmologists in training, but even for the experienced clinician who wants to refresh his knowledge, because a lot of relevant information on the area of lens and glaucoma is transferred by very concentrated text and fine illustrations." Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, September 2009
