This latest edition improves on the classic text with a fresh look, links to videos, and the latest in need-to-know ophthalmic knowledge. This will continue to be required reading for every medical student at the University of Pittsburgh." -Evan "Jake" Waxman, MD, PHD, Associate Professor of Ophthalmology, University Of Pittsburgh, Vice Chair For Education, UPMC Eye Center
