Joussen A., Gardner T., Kirchhof B. Retinal Vascular Disease

Springer, 2010. - 807 p. ISBN: 3540295410Vascular diseases of the retina are a major cause of blindness among all age groups. Edited and written by internationally well-known experts, this state-of-the-art comprehensive overview of basic and clinical science will enhance the understanding of retinal vascular disease and help in the evaluation of current and future treatment approaches for the clinician. The well-structured and highly illustrated text is divided into three easy-to-follow sections. This unique textbook-atlas also includes topics which are not currently found in other retinal disease textbooks, such as case reports and clinical follow-ups.General Concepts in the pathogenesis of retinal vascular disease
