Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Franz Fogt, MD, Dr med, MBA (University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine)
Description: The two volumes of this third edition book on diseases of the eye are nicely structured from more general to most specific chapters. The contributors are internationally known authorities in their fields. The book is edited well and flows logically. The pictures are of adequate but not superb quality and all black and white, which is sufficient for review but not for learning.
Purpose: The general goal of the book is the discussion of diseases and their pathobiological etiologies, including modern molecular biologic knowledge. This goal has been met with highest standards.
Audience: This book appears to be useful both for ophthalmology physicians in training and established ophthalmologists as a reference.
Features: The chapters on malignant tumors are especially well done, showing and describing most entities. The index is adequate, although specific terms, such as macular degeneration are not, per se, in the index, making a quick search a bit difficult.
Assessment: The book is a necessary update of the previous editions, but stands in competition with Spencer's extensive opus, Ophthalmic Pathology: An Atlas and Textbook, 4th edition (Saunders, 1996), and Yanoff's Ocular Pathology, 5th edition (Mosby, 2002), which also are available as CD-ROM.
