Opis

Aging research on the human eyes crosses all areas of ophthalmology and also relies upon biological, morphological, physiological, and biochemical tools for its study. This book reviews all aspects of human eye aging. In addition to descriptions of age-related changes in almost all the structures of the human eyes, the authors also include interesting accounts of personal experiments and data. It provides an extensive panorama of what happens during aging in the eye.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"The book is a compilation of 22 well-written chapters by 30 authors involved in basic research and clinical management of the problems of the aging eye. ... this is a highly recommendable book for anyone involved in aging and neurodegenerative research, and also for students and clinicians involved in ophthalmology." (Rajiv Vaid Basaiawmoit and Suresh I. S. Rattan, Biogerontology, Issue 10, 2009)
