Content
This selection of articles from the Encyclopedia of the Eye is the first single-volume overview presenting articles on the function, biology, physiology, and pathology of the structures of the ocular periphery, as well as the related disorders and their treatment. The peripheral structures are implicated in a number of important diseases, including optic neuritis, thyroid eye disease, and strabismus. The volume offers a basic science background of these topics rather than a strictly clinical focus. Edited by Darlene A. Dartt, Senior Scientist, Schepens Eye Research Institute, Harvard Medical School; Peter Bex; Patricia D’Amore; Reza Dana; Linda Mcloon and Jerry Niederkorn CONTENTS I.
