The editors would like to gratefully acknowledge all the individuals who contributed to the initial development of this textbook and to those who participated in this second edition. This includes members of the Wills Eye Hospital staff as well as members of our private office staffs. Without their assistance in manuscript preparation, slide discovery, and information gathering, the textbook would not have been produced in such a timely fashion.
Daniel P. Montzka, M.D., a wizard on the computer, provided invaluable assistance in the initial editing of the printed manuscript and continues to be extremely instrumental in revising the companion CD-ROM. Ralph C. Eagle, Jr., M.D., provided many of the histopathology slides, descriptions, and clinical-pathologic correlations. He has added considerable material to the CD-ROM version of the second edition. We are also grateful to Neal Atebara, M.D., for providing illustrations throughout the text and coordinating the optics section in the CD-ROM.
We would especially like to thank Robert E. Curtin II, Jack Scully, and Roger Barone of the Wills Eye Hospital Audio Visual Department for their dedicated efforts in coordinating the illustrations as well as assisting in preparation of the CD-ROM.
Finally, we would like to express our appreciation to the staff of Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins for their invaluable assistance in the development of this textbook. Developmental Editor Kerry Barrett provided expert editorial assistance and was always readily available. Without her pleasant and persistent attention to detail and her editorial expertise, the end product would have been much more difficult to attain. J. Stuart Freeman, Jr., the irrepressible retiring Senior Editor at Lippincott, originally suggested the idea of compiling the extensive and varied Wills Eye Hospital Clinical experience in the form of an atlas. Present Senior Executive Editor, Jonathan Pine, has continued Stuart's tradition and has been very supportive. We greatly appreciated the encouragement and direction of these individuals and we hope this second edition continues to justify their confidence.
