Clinical Ophthalmic Pathology reflects the multidisciplinary aspect of pathology with particular attention paid to morphology, immunology and microbiology, and to the ever-growing fields of cell biology and molecular genetics. Although the book is aimed primarily at those preparing for professional examinations, it will also be of value to establishedophthalmologists and other senior colleagues including pathologists who report on ophthalmic specimens, and those involved in teaching. * Providing a fresh and multidisciplinary approach to the understanding of the pathological basis of ophthalmic disease |
