FROM THE CRITICS

Maurice F. Rabb

This stereoscopic atlas covering the diagnosis andtreatment of macular diseases is unique in that it has a large numberof stereoscopic photographs for visualization by the reader. Theauthor uses both black-and-white and stereo color fundus photographswith fluorescein angiography to illustrate the anatomic and physiologicalterations caused by most macular diseases. It is a much-neededupdate of the previous three editions, and I believe that the textmeets the author's objective. The audience for this book includesophthalmology residents, general ophthalmologists, and thosespecializing in retinal diseases. The author is one of the mostrenowned authorities in diseases of the macula. The illustrations andtext are of the highest quality and the references are current. Thisbook should be in every library and bookstore, and every physician whois interested in diseases of the retina should buy it. This fourthedition offers information not included in the previous three editions,such as new histopathologic features of choroidal neovascularization,the pathogenesis of age-related macular holes, and many other retinaldiseases not known prior to the publication of the third edition. Thisedition offers ample information to justify replacing the previousedition.
