Ophthalmic Pathology (eBook)

Ophthalmic Pathology: The Evolution of Current Concepts examines how our current understanding of morphologic disease, nomenclature and classification over the last century came about. The book explores the historical context and the modern trends of ocular nosology, emphasizing the science of disease classification. Chapters highlight major studies and developments surrounding approximately 50 disorders whose diagnoses are established by pathology, corresponding to a historical road map of current nomenclature, methods of disease classification, and the role of diagnostic morphology. Using a streamlined, highly illustrated format, this book provides a unique historic and evolutionary perspective into current views on the morphology of eye disease. - Includes illustrations showing basic principles and relevant morphologic features of different conditions - Provides insights into the limitations of morphologic diagnoses - Discusses a wide range of disorders, including ophthalmic pathology of the eye, conjunctiva and optic nerve
