This concise and well-illustrated monograph captures the essential information needed by today's opthalmologists in this rapidly developing field. From summarizing the key aspects of the molecular genetics of corneal dystrophies to describing the use of the excimer laser to treat corneal diseases, this up-to date guide provides valuable infomation about the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.
