From the book reviews: "Ocular Blood Flow' provides a deep, comprehensive coverage of the state of the art on this intriguing field of research. ... Written in a direct, concise language, this textbook combines, in a one-piece, easy-to-carry volume, the type of information that is usually found scattered in a number of separate books. ... In conclusion, if the reader ... wants to have an easy-to-read, detailed, and up-to-date insight into this interesting field of research, this is the book to get." (Luis Abegao Pinto, Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 253, March, 2015) "This is a thorough review of ocular blood flow, covering the anatomy, measurement methods, physiology, and clinical correlations with various aspects of ischemic processes in the eye. ... It appears to be intended primarily for basic science researchers in the field of ocular blood flow. ... This book provides basic scientists with a thorough review of the anatomy, physiology, and measurement tools to explore the field." (Christopher B. Chambers, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2013)
