The revision of this classic major reference will continue to outline the latest findings in diagnosing children's eye diseases and their treatment options. The information in this edition will be presented in the same user-friendly format, heavily illustrated in color plates, tables, charts, and decision-making guidelines. This approach will enable the practitioner to make the most accurate diagnosis and choose the most effective treatment option. The highlights of this edition will include the new coverage of surgical treatment options and illustrated surgical techniques. Also, it will cover the most comprehensive list ever published of systematic syndromes associated with ocular anomalies. The most notable breakthroughs in the past 5 years in pediatric ophthalmology are reflected through the field of medical genetics.
