"The authors took a very good ocular handbook and made it even better. The addition of color photos and extensive use of algorithms in this highly portable and easy to use handbook make it the only guide a clinician needs to have to confidently treat patients with ocular disorders in the practice setting. Everyone who treats and manages ocular conditions needs this handbook in their office. It will be used every day."
