Foreword

It gives me great pleasure to provide this Foreword to what is clearly an excellent primer in ophthalmology. Professor Christopher Liu is well suited to edit this book that promises to be an excellent textbook for medical students, trainees new to ophthalmology and other professionals who look after patients with problems relating to their eyes or vision. Prof. Liu has made extensive contributions to education, clinical care and research in ophthalmology over many years for which work he was honoured with an OBE in the Queen’s Honours List. The chapters cover important and common areas encountered in ophthalmology. The contributing authors are multi-national and many of them have worked here in the Sussex Eye Hospital and have been close associates with Prof. Liu. Dr. Hanbin Lee, the co-editor is one such excellent doctor who has worked with Prof. Liu. I have no doubt that this book will be an important addition to the existing literature in ophthalmology and I wish it the success that it deserves.
