"... Chinese Ophthalmology, a German work now translated into English which describes the speciality from foundations to therapeutic methods, drawing on a range of classical and modern texts. Current Western medical information is included, making this a comprehensive manual. ... This is an extensive reference on a range of conditions, from serious diseases such as vernal keratoconjunctivitis and diabetic retinopathy to the more superficial “age-related changes of the eyelids”, to complaints such as blepharospasm and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (the latter with detailed differentiation and treatment strategies that I will definitely be adding to my arsenal when hayfever season hits next spring). ... Chinese Ophthalmology gives me the understanding and confidence to treat more serious eye diseases when they do present in clinic." (The Lantern, Volume XIII, Issue 1)
