| Abstract
|
:
|
This book has been created for patients who have decided to make education and research an integral part of the treatment process. Although it also gives information useful to doctors, caregivers and other health professionals, it tells patients where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to pterygium (also central pterygium; double pterygium; progressive peripheral pterygium; recurrent pterygium; stationary peripheral pterygium), from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. The title of this book includes the word official. This reflects the fact.
