The well-structured and highly illustrated text is divided into the following three main sections:
Pathogenesis of retinal vascular disease
General concepts in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal vascular disease
Pathology, clinical course and treatment of retinal vascular disease
Reader-friendly through:
Step-by-step explanation of all treatment procedures
Richly illustrated by clinical image series including illustrated single case follow-up

From the reviews:
"In this well-organized textbook, the authors start with a detailed review of the current basic science of retinal vessel development and pathology. ... This is especially useful for the busy practitioner. ... This is a book for ophthalmologists and non-ophthalmologists alike. ... Retinal Vascular Disease offers information to readers who do not have training in ophthalmology but are curious about a particular patient or condition. ... This text is as up to date as possible in both its clinical and its basic science reviews." (William V. Good, New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 358, April, 2008)
"This book on retinal disease is a welcome addition to the compendium of ophthalmic textbooks. ... the book to be useful for retina specialists, ophthalmologists, and doctors in training.
