RT Journal A1 Perlman J T1 Ocular disease: Mechanisms and management JF JAMA JO JAMA YR 2011 FD July 6 VO 306 IS 1 SP 101 OP 101 DO 10.1001/jama.2011.931 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.2011.931 AB This newly published text arose from a series of articles entitled “Mechanisms of Ophthalmic Disease,” published in Archives of Ophthalmology beginning with the January 1996 issue. Essentially a textbook on the pathophysiology of ocular disease, this first-edition text is the medical companion to the 11th edition of the classic Adler's Physiology of the Eye. The text consists of 704 pages, and it is obvious that a substantial amount of time and effort has gone into the writing and editing. There are 170 contributing authors with expertise in all areas of ophthalmology.
