Adler`s Physiology of the Eye, 12th Edition

• Covers the full structure and function of the eye and its related anatomy and makes the connection between physiology and clinical practice.
• Includes major updates throughout, including new information on OCT/OCTA imaging, new drug delivery methods, ocular biomechanics, and evolving gene therapies.
• Organizes content by function, rather than anatomy, to help you make a stronger connection between physiological principles and clinical practice.
• Explains the physiological principles that underlie visual acuity, intraocular pressure, ocular circulation, the extraocular muscles, and much more.
• Features approximately 1,000 illustrations throughout, including medical artwork; schematics, charts, and graphs; clinical photographs; and more.
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
