Picture Perfect DMEK: A visual guide to a beautiful operation
- 202 pages
- 8 hours of reading
This book represents the collected history of our 20 year scientific experience with DMEK surgery. But this is not a dense, jargon-filled, academic textbook. It's a picture book (or more, conventionally, a "photo atlas") of our most important findings. That is, our most illustrative diagrams, cartoons, and illustrations, and the best pictures from two decades of research. This has enabled us to crystalize our most critical discoveries into an easily (and pleasantly!) digestible format, which is quick to read and easy to share, with your colleagues or with your patients.
