This Pictorial Ophthalmology was submitted by Dr Juan Junceda and is based on a CD-ROM of 15 years experience of oculoplastic surgery.

The CD-ROM contains more than 2 and a half hours of in vivo surgery and 32 films distributed in 5 sections of anatomy, palpebral surgery, conjunctival surgery, lacrimal pathway surgery, and orbital surgery.

The CD-ROM is currently distributed only in Spanish-speaking countries, although it will soon be edited by an International Publisher, which will make it more readily available.
