Adler's Physiology of the Eye

Reviews / Votes

"...now in its 12th edition and, as someone who studied ophthalmology using a much earlier edition, it is easy to appreciate how this has evolved into a veritable masterwork.... an excellent reference and an outstanding platform for the study of ophthalmology and eyecare to be built upon. It is also relatively easy to dip into, with reasonably sized chapters that are generally easy to read and with references that are typically up-to-date.... the printed work is a handsome volume, glossy, hardbound and printed on high-quality paper and is a pleasure to have on one's desk.... I can honestly say I'd recommend this current edition to anyone embarking on a career in ophthalmology, optometry or visual science. It really is a treasure chest combining hard science, engaging writing and practical tips that provides a comprehensive single source for those wishing to understand the physiology of the eye." Review by Professor Charles McGhee, NZ Optics, December 2025

"...serves as an easy-to-digest review and update of ocular anatomy and physiology for clinicians, researchers, and students. The book is organized by function... [which] allows for seamless integration of basic science information with clinical knowledge in a way that enhances and refreshes foundational information.... The purpose of this book is to enhance understanding of structure and functional relationships within the eye and ocular adnexa.... [It] provides a unique approach to understanding ocular anatomy and physiology... [and] breaks down broad topics...to smaller segments in a straightforward manner, allowing visualization of the relationship and significance of the structure to the function.... This book is a great resource to refresh or supplement knowledge on a wide range of ocular elements."
