Becker-Shaffer's Diagnosis and Therapy of the Glaucomas


Authored
by three prominent specialists in the field, this text provides
comprehensive coverage of diagnostic and treatment modalities for
optimal glaucoma management. Revised throughout, this new edition
presents the latest guidance in clinical examination, randomized trials,
medical treatment, laser therapy, and surgical procedures. Hundreds of

previous editions supplemented with new color images-depict the features
of glaucomas and step-by-step procedures for their management, while
expanded use of highlighted boxes, lists, and summary tables make the

aspects of the glaucomas-including physiology, genetics, interventional
trials, and new surgical techniques-offer a well-rounded foundation of
knowledge for making the most informed diagnoses and choosing the most
effective course of treatment.
