Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book … gives readers a comprehensive overview of the physiological and anatomic changes leading to fundus autofluorescence. … The book is enriched with hundreds of high quality illustrations and fundus autofluorescence pictures as well as color pictures, fluorescein angiography and some microperimetry. The table of contents is comprehensive and clear. Each chapter is followed by a large and updated list of references. … We can thoroughly recommend this book to general ophthalmologists as well as retina specialists."
