The Human Eye in Numbers

This book presents all key anatomical and physiological values of the human eye in a clear, easy-to-navigate tabular format. It eliminates the need for time-consuming literature searches when specific data is required-whether in daily clinical practice, hospital settings, or academic research. Because the original references for each value are provided, readers can easily consult the primary literature whenever detailed background context beyond the numbers is needed. An indispensable, fast-reference guide for ophthalmologists, researchers, and medical students alike.
