DESCRIPTION
For over three decades, Harley’s Pediatric Ophthalmology has been the
premier reference in pediatric ophthalmology. In this sixth edition it
delivers even more of the detailed and practical coverage that has made
it the most trusted resource in the field.
Completely revised, its new full-color format will help the reader
identify pathologies and retain key facts. Its updated table of contents
now includes new information on genetics, evaluation methodologies,
diagnostic techniques, and treatment modalities — including new drugs.
But most importantly, this new edition provides details on the recent
advances that will allow for early diagnosis and broader treatment
options for children with ophthalmic disorders.
