Written by the residents of the Wilmer institute, this handbook serves as a reference to the pathology and management of eye disease. It provides access to the latest information on laser treatment, and management of anterior and posterior segment trauma. Basic surgical techniques covered include cataract, glaucoma, strabismus and vitreoretinal surgery. The text should be useful for preparation for the OKAPS and the board exams.
