unique reference encompasses everything about tears, from start to finish including discussion of lacrimal history and histology, causes and presentation of lacrimal disorders, surgical options for lacrimal disease, as well as pathobiology,
histology, prevention, and both topical and more invasive management of dry and watering eye diseases.
