New to this Edition

Offers the expertise of a brand-new co-author, Joseph William Sassani, MD, MHA, who brings new insights to the latest pathologic findings.

Discusses rapidly evolving subjects, including genetics and molecular biology, and addresses hot topics such as the role of the myocilin/TIGR gene in the development of glaucoma, the classification of orbital neoplasms, and many others to keep you on the cusp of today’s knowledge.

Presents a new discussion on the pathobiology of ocular complications of diabetes mellitus, including diabetic macular edema and severity scales, the interventional clinical classification of diabetic retinopathy, and the role of VEGFF and other factors.

Provides OCT, UBM, and MRI/CT images of key conditions, offering you a better visual correlation to pathological entities.

Features entirely new sections on age-related macular degeneration and complications of refractive surgery to help you avoid complications and make the best informed decisions.

Incorporates revisions of all chapters in fast changing fields such as classifications of soft tissue tumors and the modern developments of histopathological terminology and developments.
