Two of the most well known names in the field of dry eye disease have put together this remarkable book on the diagnosis and treatment of one of the most common diseases encountered in caring for patients and their eyes...there is a wealth of information reviewed in each chapter. The information is enhanced by the inclusion of numerous tables and figures, with some chapters including several descriptive color photographs. Its organization...allows the reader rapid access to information on the performance of clinical diagnostic tests and treatment options...an excellent resource for students and seasoned clinicians that provides a thorough review of current understandings of dry eye disease diagnosis and treatment options through the eyes of some highly respected experts.--Optometry and Vision Science
