Ocular Aging: Impact on the Eye provides an integrated description of the latest research findings on aging affecting ocular structures, discussing clinical characteristics of several sight-threatening disorders with detailed descriptions of clinical features and therapeutic options. Written by experts, each chapter covers the impacts of aging on specific ocular structures and integrates this information with the most common ocular disorders that are significantly dependent on age. This unique approach makes this book an invaluable source of reference for researchers interested on the latest research findings and ophthalmologists looking for a description of clinical features and therapeutic options for several age-related disorders.
