Recenzje

"Professor Lim has brought us up to the moment. We owe her and her collaborators a vote of thanks and a vote of confidence. Hopefully, the march of time, with its inexorable acquisition of new knowledge, will mandate the need for yet another edition. For the time being, however, this Third Edition of Age-Related Macular Degeneration does its job commendably and effectively." Morton F. Goldberg, M.D., Director Emeritus The Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland USA
