Adler’s Physiology of the Eye 12th Edition

Adler’s Physiology of the Eye 12th Edition

Adler’s Physiology of the Eye, 12th Edition is a classic and authoritative reference designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of ocular function, structure and related anatomy. Edited by Leonard A. Levin, Paul L. Kaufman and Mary Elizabeth Hartnett, this fully revised edition connects essential physiological principles with their clinical applications in ophthalmology and optometry.

The book incorporates recent molecular, genetic and biochemical discoveries and explains the physiological basis of visual acuity, intraocular pressure, ocular circulation, eye movements, retinal processing and visual perception.

Organised primarily by function rather than anatomy, the textbook helps readers understand the relationships between ocular structures and their physiological roles. Approximately 1,000 illustrations—including medical artwork, diagrams, charts, graphs and clinical photographs—make complex concepts easier to learn and retain.
