From the Back Cover
"Ophthalmic Pathology: A Concise Guide" provides an introductory book of essential and fundamental information that will give the reader a solid foundation in ophthalmic pathology.

The text is rich in macroscopic and microscopic pathology images, clinical images, and bullet-point lists.

An assortment of commentary related to common diagnoses and differential diagnostic considerations, clinical and pathological correlations, pearls and pitfalls, and ophthalmic pathology terminology can be found in each chapter. Other topics include: the fundamental pathology of glaucoma, trauma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and the phacomatoses; commonly used histochemical stains employed in ophthalmic pathology; and basic prosection of enucleation and evisceration specimens.
