Rezensionen
""This is an excellent and practical book for the clinician. I founf this Clinical Guide easy to use, highly relevant to clinical practice and exciting to read."" Mel Sydney-Smith, Complementary Medicine, February 2004year's edition does not disappoint and can readily be recommended for providing an overview of the past year's developments. All opthalmologists, both generalists and sub-specialists, can benefit from reading this book; it will help bring them up to date with developments they might not be aware of outside their own main area of interest. This is something worth doing once year. At a minimum, reading the summary overviews is well worth the effort."" Gary Leber
