Industry Reviews

"This second edition is a big improvement over the first in both content and presentation of the techniques. It is an excellent learning guide for ancillary personnel involved in providing cursory slit lamp examinations and for preparing for board examinations. It... will facilitate the learning process for both beginning students and seasoned veterans."
