Retina by Ryan, Stephen J.

Description: The first edition of the first comprehensive reference in this ophthalmology sub-specialty The names of its editors and contributors--many of whom have by now retired or died--read like an ophthalmology honor roll from that time. Ryan's Retina, as currently revised and updated in its seventh edition, remains a primary reference for retinal specialists in ophthalmology. A comparison with this original edition documents the research and clinical advances for this medical specialty during the past three decades. Stephen J. Ryan (1940-2013) was the president of the Doheny Eye Institute, chairman of the ophthalmology department at the Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Dean of the USC School of Medicine and a senior vice-president of that University, as well as being active in the National Academy of Sciences and the National Institutes of Health. As editor-in-chief of this work, he was responsible for organizing and selecting the contributors for each chapter in collaboration with the editors of each volume. Ryan, Stephen J.
