Praised by JAMA as "The most complete description of the development, structure, function, pathophysiology, and treatment of the retina and its diseases to be found anywhere," this monumental three-volume work puts all of today's scientific and clinical knowledge of the retina at readers' fingertips. The New Edition has been comprehensively updated and reorganized to reflect all of the very latest scientific and genetic discoveries, diagnostic imaging methods, drug therapies, treatment recommendations, and surgical techniques. The result is an indispensable reference and diagnostic tool for generalists and specialists alike.

• Delivers the editorial expertise of four highly respected authorities, as well as contributions from internationally recognized leaders in visual science, ophthalmology, and vitreoretinal studies.
  
• Presents more than 3,400 superb illustrations (2,200 in full color) that capture all forms of retinal disease from every perspective.

• Offers the very latest information on the genetic basis of retinal disease, diagnostic retinal imaging, photodynamic therapy, and age-related macular degeneration.
  


• Examines the most recent advances in diagnostic indocyanine green angiography · optical coherence tomography (OCT) and quantitative fluoroscein angiography · macular translocation with 360° peripheral retinectomy · surgery for diffuse macular edema due to multiple causes, including proliferative vitreoretinopathy · artificial vision · and much more.
  


• Features a completely restructured section on age-related macular degeneration that includes epidemiology and risk factors · prophylaxis and prevention knowledge gained from large clinical trials like AREDS · proven and experimental treatments for AMD · and pharmacotherapy.
  


• Incorporates a multitude of new full-color images, 2200 in all.

Review

"The most complete description of the development, structure, function, pathophysiology, and treatment of the retina and its diseases to be found anywhere...A comprehensive and up-to-date reference on the structure, function, and pathophysiology of the retina and its diseases and their treatment. It is a necessary addition to the personal library of any retina specialist or trainee. It would be an invaluable addition to any ophthalmology department or medical school library. Stephen J. Ryan and his colleagues have done an admirable job in updating this already superb text."--JAMA, review of the previous edition --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Retina (3 Volume Set) (Ryan, Retina) (Hardcover)

For a comprehensive book on vitreoretinal disease, there is little to find fault with. For some less common diseases, I found the descriptions in the Gass atlas to be more detailed. Howevere, much is covered in the Ryan series that is not covered in Don Gass's atlas and so the books are complementary. The amount of detail is appropriate for this level of textbook. With three large volumes, it has proved to be a daunting task to get through it all. Retention of all this material is also not easy. For me, repetition and foundation building helps. So..

Before delving into these volumes, I would recommend reading several other retina books first for some background/foundation building including: Freeman's "practical atlas," Holz/Spaid Medical Retina book or Quillen's book, the academy book, and then for surgical techniques Steve Charles book, Ingrid Kressig's books on segmental buckling, and then finally the Highlights book "Retinal and Vitreoretinal surgery." I think these books provide a great foundation before delving into Ryan.

I think the Monographs series books on angiography and electrophysiology (volumes 5 and 2) provide a nice review of these topics before reading Ryan.

Another retina book I am reading simultaneously is Dr. Hartnett's Pediatric Retina book. It is truly excellent as well.

The 3 volumes that were purchased were older volumes and not the one I needed or were pictured on the website. Very disappointed and cost me money to ship back to seller.
