Description
Springer-Verlag New York Inc. Ophthalmologic Drug Guide by Douglas Rhee
This book contains all inclusive formulary for ocular prescription medications and includes new agents in retinal disease. Ophthalmology has long been considered a surgical area because so many disorders/diseases are treated surgically rather than medically. In the past ten years however there have been considerable therapeutic breakthroughs in non-surgical treatments. For instance anti-glaucoma agents have become increasingly effective. This edition includes a new chapter for retinal disease. There are now several pharmaceutical agents being used to treat these diseases. Specifically age-related macular degeneration has many new products.
