Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐An enourmous effort was probably needed to compile all the information in the first of 2 volumes, but certainly the most recognized experts in each glaucoma area were recruited for this book.The pictures are of high quality, a must for a disease were the crucial tip for a correct diagnosis and management is in the details. The publisher was also lavish in the full color illustrations in many chapters.A worthwile addition for any ophthalmologist and indispensable for both glaucoma fellows and glaucoma enthusiasts.Volume 2 is oriented to surgical treatment, has a DVD-ROM with many quicktime surgical videos of high quality.Shaarawy had previously published Atlas of Glaucoma Surgery, but this 2-volume set can easily replace previous basic Glaucoma textbooks.
