This is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis, clinical management, surgery, and postoperative management of many retinal disorders. As such it will be invaluable to both trainee and consultant ophthalmologists but will also be useful to optometrists and ophthalmic opticians who are becoming increasingly involved in the diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmic disorders. The authors bring a wealth of experience in this field and present methods to help maximize the benefits of surgery.
