Uram is a practicing ophthalmologist in Little Silver, New Jersey, and the inventor of a new surgical technique combining endoscopy with anterior and posterior segment procedures. While not claiming to be an authority on glaucoma, retinal, or oculoplastic surgery, he offers this text to practitioners interested in learning about the technique and benefits of using ophthalmic endoscopy to view and treat a variety of disorders where conventional imaging has failed. The text is illustrated in detail with 200-plus full-color endoscopic photographs and artistic renderings, and is accompanied by two CD-ROMs containing video clips of surgical procedures.
