“This is the first book on microperimetry and multiple retinal imaging techniques, introducing a multi-dimensional approach to the retina and the integration of our knowledge of the macula in health and disease. It is a valuable tool for those who are interested in integrating pathology and functionality, and who want to broaden their understanding of the complexity of the retina.” (Shimon Rumelt, Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 255, 2017)
