Presbyopia: Origins, effects and treatment

Picture
Going well beyond the surface, the authors of this book set a goal of thoroughly explaining presbyopia; not an easy task, it turns out. But they succeed in revealing what is known about presbyopia in astounding, but necessary, detail. Using the expertise of nearly 60 scientists and clinicians, the chapters cover a wide range of related topics.
