The technique is based on evaluation of the behavior in the tissues of the ocular fundus of intravenously administered sodium fluorescein. This unique and highly illustrated text deals with the morphological prerequisites and structural changes on which the individual phenomena involved in this behavior are based. Written by an internationally renowned expert, it features 3 languages in one book: English, German and Spanish – color-coded for ease of access.
