Over the past decade advances in molecular biology have transformed our understanding of the genetic basis of a broad range of ophthalmic conditions and of the disease processes that underlie them. This work gives a concise summary of the current clinical understanding of genetic ophthalmology and how it may be applied to diagnosis management and counselling of patients with inherited eye diseases. In addition the book gives detailed information of recent advances in genetic eye disease and how disease pathophysiology correlates with this molecular genetic information. It is aimed at general and specialist ophthalmologists, at trainees or all levels as well as at clinical and molecular geneticists interested in the genetics of eye disease.
