From the reviews:
“This book presents the definition, epidemiology, and genetics of myopia and an analysis of the human eye shape and pathologies and possible therapies for pathological myopia. … Intended for ophthalmologists, the book is written in such a way that both comprehensive ophthalmologists and retina specialists may find it useful. … This is a wonderful fount of information on myopia and pathological myopia. It is likely the most complete book on the topic currently available.” (Elizabeth C. Chiang, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2014)
