Main description:

Lacrimal or tearing disorders are among the most common conditions encountered by ophthalmologists. The close relationship between the eyes and the nose demand an interdisciplinary approach to nasolacrimal disorders.

This book is a step by step guide to the surgical management of lacrimal disorders. Beginning with an introduction to lacrimal surgery, anatomy and physiology of the lacrimal system, and patient evaluation, the following chapters describe surgical procedures for different disorders.

This practical guide is highly illustrated with more than 200 images and diagrams to enhance learning.
