Press reviews
The Lantern, Volume XIII, Issue 1
„… Chinese Ophthalmology, a German work now translated into English which describes the speciality from foundations to therapeutic methods, drawing on a range of classical and modern texts. Current Western medical information is included, making this a comprehensive manual. … This is an extensive reference on a range of conditions, from serious diseases such as vernal keratoconjunctivitis and diabetic retinopathy to the more superficial “age-related changes of the eyelids”, to complaints such as blepharospasm and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (the latter with detailed differentiation and treatment strategies that I will definitely be adding to my arsenal when hayfever season hits next spring). … Chinese Ophthalmology gives me the understanding and confidence to treat more serious eye diseases when they do present in clinic.“
Journal Chinese Medicine – 03/2015
„… The systematic and clear presentation of the most important eye diseases with their differential diagnosis and therapy in the sense of Chinese medicine makes this book a great practical help for all those who want to extend their therapeutic repertoire to ophthalmology.“
