Reviews

This book broadly covers ophthalmic epidemiology. The first half of the book covers several key technologies and strategies in modern ophthalmic epidemiology while the second half discusses current epidemiologic data for many different major eye diseases. Overall, the book is very organized and each chapter is broken into an appropriate number of subsections of discussion.There are a good number of tables and figures included throughout the book. -- Emily M Witsberger, MD, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics
