The only comprehensive book of this type for trainee ophthalmologists. Other books available only cover individual scientific areas, such as anatomy and biochemistry. Attractive two-colour page design with clear diagrams and text boxes make this a much more accessible book to learn from than many postgraduate textbooks. Presents in a readable form an account of all the basic sciences necessary for an understanding of the eye - anatomy, embryology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology and infection and pathology.
