Full of excellent color pictures and relevant new info by Oscar D. Albis Donado (Mexico City)

5 Stars
May 21, 2009
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.
