Atlas of the Peripheral Ocular Fundus

Book excerpt: This source for eyecare practitioners covers many of the developmental anomalies of the peripheral retina, ora serrata, and pars plana, but emphasis is placed on degeneration and anomalies of the retina and vitreous which have the potential for producing a retinal break and/or detachment. A detailed discussion of each entity includes clinical description, histopathology, clinical significance, and brief discussions of treatment. Each condition is illustrated--most with a photo taken though the condensing lens used for binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
