Conceived as a practical atlas, this work emphasizes learning through images. The texts, short and didactic, complement a rich and carefully selected iconography. The reader will find there the essential illustrations to understand, know and review the anatomy and physiology of the cornea as well as the most recent examination methods. Congenital anomalies, hereditary dystrophies, corneal overload syndromes are extensively detailed. The main disorders of the epithelium, stroma and endothelium are discussed in dedicated chapters. The emphasis is on new developments, in particular on the contribution of genetics to the classification of corneal dystrophies. The work is supplemented by an online image bank, which includes all the iconography.
