As the completely updated comprehensive reference for the eye, its support structures, diseases, and therapies, Encyclopedia of the Eye, Second Edition, Four Volume Set is an important resource for all visual scientists, ophthalmologists, and optometrists, as well as researchers in immunology, infectious disease, cell biology, neurobiology, and related disciplines. This four-volume reference is unique in its coverage of information on all tissues important for vision, including the retina, cornea, and lens. It also covers the physiological and pathophysiologic processes that affect all eye tissues.This Encyclopedia is invaluable for undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, medical students, and residents who are seeking an introduction to an area of eye research. Each chapter addresses one specific structure or process, reviews the basic concepts, cross-references other chapters within the Encyclopedia and provides citations of relevant primary publications. The Encyclopedia is also particularly useful for visual scientists and practitioners who are investigating a new area, seeking deeper understanding of important research articles in fields adjacent to their own, and/or reviewing a grant or manuscript outside their immediate area of expertise.
