Reviews
“The book is excellent. It provides a great international overview of corneal tissue banking. It highlights the changing face of eye banking with the advent of evolving corneal lamellar transplantation. The chapters read well together.” – Reviewed by Sajjad Ahmad, MB BS, FRCOphth, PhD, Senior Clinical Lecturer, University of Liverpool
The book is written for ophthalmologists and eye banks.
