This book is a culmination of more than three years of hard work, grit and determination of all the section editors who patiently worked with the individual authors to produce this edition. Basic subjects pertaining to ophthalmology including anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, microbiology, immunology and genetics have been adequately dealt with in a concise and lucid manner. The section on Vision Rehabilitation and Optics and Refraction has been passionately prepared by committed section editors and authors. The recent advances and the current concepts in various subspecialties such as Cornea, Glaucoma, Uvea, Retina, Neuro-ophthalmology, Orbit and Oculoplasty, and Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus have been well captured in the respective chapters.

A comprehensive ophthalmology textbook in two volumes comprising 214 extremely well-researched and well-referenced illustrated chapters spread over 19 sections. Incorporates recent advances and conceptual challenges along with basic and translational aspects of ophthalmology. This edition has integrated many contemporary practical ophthalmic healthcare issues, such as accreditation, patient and electronic database safety, health information systems, administration and management, hospital infection control, ethical and medicolegal issues in ophthalmology and clinical aspects of ophthalmic diseases, starting from historical perspectives to current standards of practice. This book has approximately 4000 high-quality illustrations. Extensive additions to the section on basic, applied, diagnostic and translational ophthalmology, where applied ophthalmic specialties such as ocular genetics, biochemistry, pathology, microbiology, ophthalmic imaging and applications of artificial intelligence in ophthalmology have been elaborated.
