Reviews
This atlas describes peripheral retinal degeneration in detail and the mechanisms leading to posterior vitreous detachments and retinal detachments. ... This is a very useful addition to the understanding of peripheral retinal degenerations. In this second edition, the authors have brilliantly shown the possibility and necessity of using OCT technology beyond the central macular region. It is a very useful book for retinal practitioners and residents and researchers. (Diana V. Do, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2017)
