This book has been designed to permanently remain as a "companion” in the practitioner's pocket. This purpose is achieved brilliantly. The perfect structure of the book makes information easy to reach within minutes for any topic. The iconography in particular is excellent, providing sharp, high-quality photographs and custom-made, highly pedagogic drawings. The strong feature of this book is that it covers the whole pathology of this highly variable topic. I am confident that this book will be useful for all ophthalmologists starting in oculoplastic surgery, as well as for non-ophthalmologists who may be confronted with this topic.
