Diseases of the eye and skin : a color atlas

The authors—representing both ophthalmology and dermatology—have created the definitive reference on ocular manifestations of local and systemic skin diseases. This atlas includes more than 900 color photographs that show common diseases at various stages, not just in their most dramatic form. Readers can track the evolution of conditions from initial irritation and blemish through eruption to the secretion of pus. A glossary defines the many terms used by both the dermatologist and the ophthalmologist.
