Smolin and Thoft's The Cornea by Foster, C. Stephen; Azar, Dimitri T.; Dohlman, Claes H.;

Smolin and Thoft’s The Cornea is often praised as the best available source of information on corneal and external diseases. This new edition, with its greatly expanded color atlas section, continues to provide guidance on diagnosing and managing problems associated with the cornea. It is now fully updated and contains additional information on corneal surgery, refractive surgery, and stem cell grafting, and a new chapter on optical and therapeutic contact lenses.
