Starting with eyelid repair, this atlas instructs all ophthalmologists who wish to learn oculoplastic techniques, made easier by following the step-by-step illustrations.

From the reviews:" It is the work of the well-known Detroit oculoplastic group . When one reads through this book there really is nothing else that is needed in terms of teaching of oculoplastic surgery. This is a book which I would strongly recommend to those engaged in this specialty . I highly recommend it to all trainees and to those who feel that their knowledge may be a little rusty ." (I. T. Jackson, European Journal of Plastic Surgery, Vol. 26 (8), 2004)"The book is intended for ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists, plastic and general surgeons who want a better understanding of eyelid surgery. It succeeds in providing a practical guide for the practitioner . The standard of the content is on the whole high. The surprise bonuses are the two compact discs inside the back cover. Here the reader/viewer is treated to a high-quality, well-edited digital video of oculoplastic surgery. This is the first multi-media surgical atlas I have seen and it represents a valuable educational tool." (Susan Hague, Eye News, Vol. 9 (3), 2002)
