Clinical and Experimental Optometry, Volume 123, Issue 88 -- Dr Gupta's book demonstrates an extensive knowledge of the field. The book is well organized by sections devoted to the epidemiology and diagnosis of glaucoma through a description of the various presentations and their management. At the front of the book are excellent color illustrations. If all optometrists knew the entire contents of this book then our glaucoma patients would be reasonably well served.
