Reviews

Dr. Fiona Rowe has written a comprehensive, easy-to-read and well-illustrated text on visual fields, which will be particularly useful for trainees and practitioners across ophthalmology, orthoptics, optometry, and allied health fields in eye care. -Prof. Jonathan M. Holmes, Professor of Ophthalmology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA Dr. Fiona Rowe, one of the top researchers in this field, has written a detailed and comprehensive book that I recommend to all of my students and colleagues. -Dr. Carla Lanca, Orthoptic Department, Lisbon School of Health Technology, Portugal This is a comprehensive reference book for anyone who wants to further their knowledge of visual fields assessment and interpretation. By providing examples and data from the most current and popular field analysers and test strategies on the market, it allows the clinician to understand and interpret the results in order to aid in a more accurate diagnosis. Every eye department would benefit from having this book on its shelves. -Tallat Maan, Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, Lancashire, UK
