Full Description
Aging in Ophthalmology examines the aging process of the eye and how this affects the future of ophthalmology. With a strong focus on therapeutic options, the book shows the latest improvements in medical and surgical possibilities. It describes both the risks of the aging of the eye, the aging of different parts of the eye (like the retina, lens, and iris), therapeutic approaches to limit the aging processes of the eye, along with a glance into the future. This book is a valuable resource for ophthalmologists of all subspecialties and researchers interested in the aging process in the human eye.
