Pediatric ophthalmology
Pediatr Clin N Am 50 (2003) xv
Preface
Pediatric ophthalmology
Lawrence M. Kaufman, MD, PhD Guest Editor
Lucky is the pediatric ophthalmologist whose knowledge and practice are limited to two small organs, each less than 24 mm in length. Pity the hardworking pediatrician whose responsibilities extend from the heads of the smallest neonates to the toes of the gangliest teenagers. With this in mind, we have condensed into one issue of the Pediatric Clinics of North America all that pediatricians need to know concerning their patients’ eyes and visual system. The contributing authors have submitted practical articles with accessible information, all concisely presented and directed to our pediatrician colleagues. Much of this information will be familiar to pediatricians; however, there have been some modest advances in the field, so some of the information will be novel and thought-provoking. I offer my sincerest gratitude to all of the contributing authors of this issue; special thanks also to my administrative assistant, Mr. Robert Scharba, for his tireless dedication and diligence on my behalf.
