Summary:

This volume of the Essential Ophthalmology series covers topical issues in pediatric ophthalmology. The well-structured text provides an update on current issues in clinical practice and recent developments and controversies in key areas of this field. Written by internationally renowned experts, chapters range from pre-school vision screening to the management of childhood cataract and pediatric ocular tumors.

This excellent volume also covers clinically relevant aspects of molecular biology, such as the molecular genetics of infantile retinal dystrophies and childhood retinal detachment. All chapters are written in an easy-to-read format which has become the hallmark of the Essential Ophthalmology series. Not only ophthalmologists, but also pediatricians will find this book a helpful resource for their continuing education and daily practise.
