Professor and Chairman of Ophthalmology at the Miguel Hernandez University of Elche presented this work, which is already on sale, at the last annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), held on 17th November in Las Vegas.

It is an ideal resource for ophthalmic surgeons, particularly corneal specialists, who wish to update their knowledge of keratopigmentation.
