Glaucoma

"The present, second edition of this world-renowned, two volume textbook of glaucoma represents a superb continuation of its first edition in the year 2009… The collection of update knowledge on glaucoma, a worldwide blinding disease with great socioeconomic impact, is unsurpassable in its completeness." --Reviewed by Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol, Oct 2014
