Features

The Requisites in Ophthalmology series serves as a vital resource for the learning and training needs of ophthalmology residents and practitioners. This volume covers the three major basic sciences of ophthalmology: pathology, physiology, and refraction, and how they relate to all the clinical subspecialties. It links pathology to each segment of the eye and describes developmental defects and ocular manifestations of systemic diseases. Through detailed color and black-and-white illustrations, it centers on the general anatomy of each eye segment and its corresponding physiology. A comprehensive section on refraction uses diagrams and illustrations to show how the different components of the retinal image are produced by the eye.
