Ocular and Visual Physiology
Author: Simon E. Skalicky
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9812878467
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
This book meets the growing demand among ophthalmologists, optometrists and orthoptists, in training and in practice, as well as visual neuroscientists, to have a clear, succinct and well-written textbook to objectively cover the subject of ocular and visual physiology. Ocular and visual physiology is a core knowledge component for these disciplines, and yet is often difficult to understand.
