Grayson's Diseases of the Cornea

By Robert C. Arffa and Robert C. Arffa MD

The fourth edition of Grayson's Diseases of the Cornea has been expanded and updated to improve its clinical usefulness. The coverage of non-corneal external disease has been expanded, and two new chapters have been added on the differential diagnosis of conjunctivitis and corneal disease. The new chapters help to narrow the diagnostic possibilities in difficult cases. Additionally, a new chapter is included on episcleritis and scleritis, which greatly expands the section on immunologic disease in the lastedition. There is also useful coverage of the diagnosis and treatment of infectious scleritis. The chapter on chemical burns has been expanded to include other forms of trauma. A section on the use of corneal topography analysis, using videokeratography is also new in this edition. All references have been updated to include the most current sources and new tables and graphs present the most complex information in an easy to read format.

* Fully updated and greatly expanded to bring the reader of this classic text up to date. * Completely updated references include the most current sources, while other, less useful references have been deleted to maintain brevity and clinical relevance. * More illustrations (including many in full color) than any other mid-sized text.
