"...serves as an easy-to-digest review and update of ocular anatomy and physiology for clinicians, researchers, and students. The book is organized by function... [which] allows for seamless integration of basic science information with clinical knowledge in a way that enhances and refreshes foundational information.... The purpose of this book is to enhance understanding of structure and functional relationships within the eye and ocular adnexa.... [It] provides a unique approach to understanding ocular anatomy and physiology... [and] breaks down broad topics...to smaller segments in a straightforward manner, allowing visualization of the relationship and significance of the structure to the function.... This book is a great resource to refresh or supplement knowledge on a wide range of ocular elements." ©Doody's Book Review Service, 2025, Rachel Grant, OD (Southern College of Optometry) Doody's Score: 95, 4 Stars!
