“...This textbook by Freddo and Chaum integrates well-supported molecular explanations of the clinical findings and nicely connects the structural study of the visual system and its clinical relevance.
The entire text is written with enough depth and accuracy not only for students and residents but also for the eye care professional looking for an update on anatomy and histology of the visual system with clinical application.”
