Book Synopsis​Background: Psychosocial care remains an extremely important part of the holistic approach to care, but one which has been underestimated in clinical practice and only superficially addressed in the ophthalmic literature to date. This aspect of care most often gets less attention by healthcare professionals due to the dominance of a technology-enhanced approach to caring practice. Clearly, the skills afforded by science and technology are important for healthcare professionals in practice, but it is also important for them to be aware of the impact of the transfer of such skills on patients from a humanistic perspective. The delivery of technology-enhanced care can often trigger innermost feelings and needs such as fear, anxiety, stress, loss of control, and a sense of alienation. This book seeks to address the imbalance often observed between nursing both as an art and science, and to emphasise the importance of raising the healthcare knowledge and understanding of the value of social psychology and its application to ophthalmic practice in addressing this imbalance. Main aims: (1) To discuss the psychosocial needs and care of patients with ocular disease and sight loss. (2) To discuss the importance and relevance of the psychosocial aspects of ophthalmic care with reference to psychosocial theory and its application. (3) To discuss the psychosocial role of the healthcare professional in facilitating emotional recovery and promoting quality of life in the care and management of patients with ocular disease and sight loss. Table of Contents​Chapter 1: IntroductionDr Susan Watkinson. Dr Swapna WilliamsonThis introductory chapter explores key issues related to the area of ocular disease and sight loss, and the value of meeting psychosocial needs within a holistic caring framework. Background information is pre-sented which highlights current global statistics related to blindness and visual impairment. The role and importance of the eyes as sensory organs is described and important physical and psychosocial implica-tions of losing sight are outlined. The main aims of the book are presented and an outline of the chapters is given to serve as an overview for the specific topics under discussion. The main focus of this book is how to care for people who have been diagnosed with ocular disease, the impact of diagnosis and medical treatment to enable people to maintain their lives and sense of well-being thus enhancing the quality of life.In the ensuing chapters, the main topics being addressed include the concept of social psychology, its meaning, value and relevance for ophthalmic nurses, allied healthcare professionals, and patient repre-sentative groups. Inclusion of service patients/service users is important because of the need to recognise their role in healthcare, and training and education Appropriate psychosocial theories and models are ex-plored to provide a basis for understanding the psychosocial aspects of ophthalmic care and sight loss. The role of the ophthalmic nurse and healthcare professionals is described as one which promotes emotional recovery of patients by enabling them to adapt and manage their eye conditions more effectively thereby establishing quality of life within a holistic caring framework. The psychosocial implications for patients with ocular disease and sight loss are considered in detail with reference to the concepts of stigma and labelling, and altered body image. In addition, the psychosocial care and interventions required within a holistic caring framework are discussed with reference to selected ocular conditions such as cataract, chronic open-angle glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Living with ocular disease and the more challenging aspects of psychosocial care are addressed in detail with reference to the possible onset of depression and managing the hallucinations of Charles Bonnet Syndrome as a result of sight loss. Chapter 2: The value of applying psychosocial theories and models to ocular disease. Dr Susan Fowler This chapter will capture the value of applying psychosocial theories and models to ophthalmic conditions and related investigations and inquiry. Basic understanding of theory and conceptual models will lay the foundation for understanding and appreciating psychosocial theories and models. Select theories and models will be described and applied to ophthalmic conditions and inquiry. Examples from published stud-ies and clinical papers will demonstrate application and provide future directions.Chapter 3: The impact of ocular disease on body imageMr Ramesh SeewoodharyThis chapter explores the psychosocial impact of disfiguring ocular disease on body image. The concept of body image and its multidimensional aspects including cognitive, attitudinal and emotional aspects is ex-plored. Also, the importance of its development during the socialisation process is discussed identifying the variables which are associated with successful adaptation. As an outcome of this development, the con-cept of a positive or negative self-image is also discussed as this can subsequently affect communication with other people throughout life.The psychosocial impact of disfiguring ocular disease can result in anxiety, clinical depression, distress and social avoidance. This chapter focuses on body image with reference to Price’s Body Image Model (1990) and explores the psychosocial impact of ocular disfigurement, with reference to selected ocular condi-tions, on self-esteem and quality of life. The emphasis is on the psychosocial implications of ocular disfig-urement for patients with ocular disease and the need for appropriate psychosocial care and interventions to restore self-esteem and social confidence during their rehabilitation back to effective communication and quality of life.Chapter 4: Stigma related to sight loss and psychosocial care.Dr Swapna WilliamsonThis chapter focuses on the stigma associated with ocular disease and sight loss, its psychosocial effects and healthcare approaches needed to address the issues and challenges. The attitudes and behaviours of the general population and healthcare professionals towards people who are blind or visually impaired are explored and the psychosocial barriers outlined. The psychosocial effects of stigma on people blind from birth, or who have developed sight loss in later life are described.The psychosocial role of the healthcare professional is discussed with reference to supporting blind or partially sighted people and their families experiencing stereotyping. It concludes that raising social and professional awareness of the psychosocial needs of people with blindness, or partial sight is vitally important in reducing labelling.Chapter 5: Ocular disease from a psychosomatic and somatopsychic perspectives.Dr Susan WatkinsonDr Swapna WilliamsonThis chapter explores ocular diseases from psychosomatic and somatopsychic perspectives. Somatopsy-chic disorders are caused by physical disease or illness; psychosomatic disorders are caused or exacerbated by continuous stress and elevated cortisol levels. Psychosomatic and somatopsychic aspects are in general causes of healthcare problems and illnesses. Hence, stress can be both a cause and consequence of vision loss due to ocular disease. Overall, this creates a vicious cycle of a downward spiral in which initial vision loss creates stress which further accelerates vision loss, creating even more stress. Stress as a known risk factor and possible major cause of visual system diseases such as glaucoma and optic neuropathy will be addressed in the discussion. This new psychosomatic perspective will also be discussed with reference to the important implications for clinical practice. Chapter 6: Living with ocular disease and quality of life Dr Susan WatkinsonIn this chapter the focus is on living with ocular disease and how the emotional impact of sight loss and affects quality of life. Key emotional reactions such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, feelings of lone-liness, depression, suicidal thoughts and suicide are presented. These reactions are addressed with refe-rence to quality of life issues and the practical implications experienced by people with cataract disease, chronic open-angle glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. In particular, challenging aspects of psychosocial care related to managing the hallucinations of Charles Bonnet Syndrome, and recognising the possible onset of depression and organising the required referrals for appropriate treatment and ongoing support by the mental health care team, are discussed in detail. Effective communication and good interpersonal skills are highlighted as an essential part of the healthcare professional’s role in identifying individual needs and providing appropriate psychosocial help and support following sight loss.Chapter 7: ConclusionDr Susan Watkinson, Dr Swapna Williamson This final chapter presents a summary of the text by returning to the main aims and revisiting the key issues addressed in each chapter. In drawing conclusions from the chapter discussions, it presents future perspectives on the significance of psychosocial care for patients with ocular disease and sight loss within a holistic paradigm of care. It also presents future perspectives on the role of the ophthalmic nurse and healthcare professionals in providing psychosocial care to facilitate emotional recovery and independence as a basis for self-empowerment and future self-management of their ocular condition.It is important to encourage healthcare professionals to participate in research activities in their practice environment to share experiences and improve patient care. Although they may not be able to conduct primary research themselves, nevertheless they can become involved in researcher-led research activities. Action research would be a crucial means of allowing nurses to become involved in the experience of collecting data based on meeting the needs of patients with ocular disease and sight loss. The would result in making a positive contribution to developing ophthalmic evidence-based practice within the domain of psychosocial care.

Book Synopsis​Keratoplasty techniques have evolved in the last 15 years into a variety of forms, which have diversified the previous monographic presence of the penetrating keratoplasty technique. The development of anterior lamellar graft (DALK), and posterior lamellar graft (DSAEK), makes an important change in the approach to lamellar surgery. Later on, the appearance of DMEK and superficial lamellar keratectomy broadened the spectrum. Today, intralamellar surgery has evolved with a number of techniques that involve stromal enhancement with biologically active or acellular corneal laminas from donors, customized lenticles from SMILE surgeries or customized by corneal topography, and more recently, corneal regeneration of the stroma by advanced techniques using mesenchymal stem cells.This book offers a comprehensive overview of modern keratoplasty techniques, the technology, surgical skills, and outcomes. It highlights the practical uses of keratoplasty for all cornea surgeons and anterior segment surgeons. The book is divided into sections, each covering a specific type of keratoplasty, including chapters on innovations within each surgery type. The goal of this book is to unify all recent knowledge about the different keratoplasty techniques and outcomes, creating a one-stop resource for ophthalmaolgy surgeons.Modern Keratoplasty is a must-have resource for corneal specialists and surgeons, anterior segment surgeons, refractive surgeons, cataract surgeons, residents, fellows, and corneal researchers.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction: current status of corneal transplantation: success, failures & turning points.- Part 1 - Preparing the Patient.- Chapter 2: Modern cornea eye banking: storage options, types of tissue .- Chapter 3: Risk classification and management of corneal grafts, Human Leukocyte Antigen matching, and options for immunosuppression therapy.- Chapter 4: Management of the vascularized cornea before corneal graft surgery - Fine needle diathermy - AntiVEGF.- Part 2 - Penetrating keratoplasty.- Chapter 5: Main issues to overcome in modern PK .- Chapter 6: Improvements in surgical techniques and suturing.- Chapter 7: Closing the wound: can sutures be avoided?.- Chapter 8: Femtosecond Assisted Penetrating Keratoplasty and Deep Anterior Lamelar Keratoplasty.- Chapter 9: Femtosecond Laser Assisted Tuck-In Penetrating Keratoplasty.- Chapter 10: Rescuing Failed Penetrating Keratoplasty Grafts.- Chapter 11: Excimer laser assisted PKP and DALK.- Part 3 - Epithelial Lamellar keratoplasty.- Chapter 12: Keratolimbal Grafts: outcomes, innovations and alternatives.- Chapter 13: Simple Limbal Epithelial Transplantation.- Chapter 14: Cultivated Limbal Epithelial Transplantation (CLET).- Chapter 15: Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Regeneration of the Ocular Surface.- Chapter 16: Induced pluripotent stem cells in epithelial lamellar keratoplasty.- Part 4 - Stromal Lamellar keratoplasty.- Chapter 17: Bowman layer transplantation.- Chapter 18: Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty: current state of the art.- Chapter 19: Customised Lenticule addition keratoplasty (SLAK).- Chapter 20: Lamellar surgery with SMILE lenticles.- Chapter 21: Corneal Allogenic Intrastromal Ring Segments (CAIRS).- Chapter 22: Advanced DALK techniques: - Mushroom mini big bubble DALK.- Chapter 23: Large-Diameter Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty.- Chapter 24: Regenerative Surgery of the Corneal Stroma For Advanced Keratoconus.- Part 5 - Endothelial Keratoplasty.- Chapter 25: Endothelial Keratoplasty.

Book SynopsisThis OpenAccess - textbook sheds new light on pathology in and around the orbit, which is typically an area where many medical disciplines overlap. Each physician brings a specific expertise, but the goal should be that the end result of all this input is much more than the sum of the parts. Collaboration, insight and overall knowledge of all parties involved are essential to achieve an optimal patient outcome.Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons have traditionally focused on the bony parts of the orbit, but usually have limited knowledge of the intricacies of binocular single vision, and for the Ophthalmologist it may be the other way around. In the past, scientific articles were often written from a single point of view, resulting in tunnel vision for the physician. The multidisciplinary approach to the orbit leads to an improvement in treatment that should not be underestimated and from which the patient benefits immensely. But especially for the physician and the trainees, a multidisciplinary consultation is a real goldmine in which a lot can be gained. Not every medical problem needs to be tackled in a multidisciplinary framework, but problems around the eye socket often do.At Amphia Hospital in Breda, the Netherlands, more than fifteen years ago, a collaboration between Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Endocrinologists, Radiologists and Ophthalmologists was initiated, which has proven to be very fruitful. The main focus was on Graves' Orbitopathy and orbital fractures, but problems associated with these conditions were also frequently encountered. For those who want to follow this example, or for those who are interested in both orbital surgery, anatomy or ophthalmological orbital issues, this book could prove to be complementary.Table of ContentsDedication (Mo)About the Authors / Special Acknowledgments (G0/Mo) Contents (Go)Preface (Mo)Introduction (Mo/Go)I Anatomy of the orbital region (Co/Go/ Mo)II Imaging of the orbit: “current concepts” (Wi)III Ex – enophthalmus (Mo)IV Diplopia (Je/Br)V Traumatologyorbital fractures (Du/Go/Mo/Di)1. diagnostics and treatment planning (Scr/(Ma/Du/Di/Go)2. algorithm - flow sheet / treatment protocol (Du/Mo/Go/Ja/Je)3. treatment of orbital fractures (Du/Go/Mo/Di/Be)4. orbital fractures in children (Du/ Go/Mo)5. emergency within the orbit (Mo/Du/Go/Di)VI Graves’ disease1.

Book SynopsisThere have been books over the years discussing the history of ophthalmology, but none that focus directly on just the most critical thinkers whose insights provided the foundation for the discipline. These men and women advanced knowledge about vision, diagnosis, disease mechanisms, and therapy through innovative thinking and perseverance against old ideas. Their stories are intriguing at a personal level and for showing the complexity of advancing medical science and, therefore, should be required reading for anyone practicing ophthalmology. Foundations of Ophthalmology includes giants such as Young (the nature of color and light), Braille (a practical reading system for the blind), Helmholtz (development of the ophthalmoscope), von Graefe (defining glaucoma), Curie (discovery of radiation and the basis of radiation therapy), Gonin (demonstration how to cure retinal detachment), Ridley (serendipity that led to intraocular lenses), and Kelman (development of phacoemulsification that revolutionized cataract surgery). Trade Review“It is written for anyone who is curious about the individuals who contributed to the foundations of ophthalmology. The authors are credible leaders in the field of ophthalmology. … The authors have done a wonderful job of reminding us about the instrumental individuals who contributed to the early development of ophthalmology. It was enjoyable to learn about these men and women and how their insights have contributed to our knowledge about the eye.” (Diana V.

Book SynopsisSince publication of the first edition of this book in 2012 vitreoretinal surgery has marched with huge steps forward. In 2012 23G was standard, today 25G and 27G are the most commonly used gauge sizes for vitrectomy. In 2012 the cutting rate was 5.000 cuts/min and today with the development of a novel vitreous cutter the cutting rate has increased to 16.000 cuts/min. The advent of 25G/27G made the instruments smaller and surgery less traumatic. Practical Handbook for Small-Gauge Vitrectomy: A Step-By-Step Introduction to Surgical Techniques, 2ndEdition focuses on these new developments and features new chapters on PVR detachment, intraocular tumour, macular translocation, sub macular hemorrhages and ocular trauma. The surgeries are demonstrated step-by-step and the material is shown in detail and videos visualize the surgery.This book will serve as an immensely useful guide for all surgeons who are intending to make use of this exciting and increasingly used technique.Table of ContentsIntroduction to small-gauge vitrectomy.- Equipment.- General considerations and techniques of pars plana vitrectomy.- Special techniques for pars plana vitrectomy.- Conventional vitrectomy with 3-port trocar system.- Bimanual vitrectomy with 4-port trocar system.- Diabetic retinopathy.- Dislocated IOL and dropped nucleus.- Endophthalmitis.- Detachment.- Trauma.- Ocular trauma.- Iris Prosthesis, Special IOL´s and Submacular Hemorrhages.- Surgical pearls.- Appendix.

Book SynopsisIschemic optic neuropathy, often referred to as a stroke of the optic nerve, is one of the major causes of visual impairment or loss of vision. Yet it is a highly controversial and confusing subject because of the general lack of in-depth scientific understanding of the subject. In this book the leading authority in the field describes in detail the current knowledge about the different forms of the often devastating disease. Insights into the underlying pathogenesis and peculiar clinical features are given, leading the reader to the most appropriate way of management. This information will help any physician dealing with patients who suffer from sudden loss of vision.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“Dr. Hayreh critically summarizes a vast and complicated array of literature on an often controversial topic. The conclusions are pertinent to a broad audience in neurology and ophthalmology, though the volume as a whole will likely draw the most interest from scholars of neuro-ophthalmology and related fields. … For the more typical reader … this serves to make each chapter accessible and informative in isolation. … The strength of this volume lies in its extensive, critical discussion of the literature with consistent style and message.” (Heather E.

Book SynopsisEtwa 29 Millionen Menschen werden in Deutschland pro Jahr in Augenarztpraxen und Augenkliniken behandelt, 44 Millionen gleichen ihre Fehlsichtigkeit mit Brille oder Kontaktlinsen aus. Grüner Star (Glaukom), Altersbezogene Makula-Degeneration (AMD) und durch Diabetes hervorgerufene Netzhautschäden gehören zu den häufigsten Ursachen für starke Sehminderung und Blindheit. Für die Erhaltung des Sehvermögens ist die Früherkennung entscheidend. Denn es gilt: Je eher eine Erkrankung festgestellt wird, desto früher kann man mit einer notwendigen Behandlung beginnen - und umso besser ist der Krankheitsverlauf. Durch welche Beschwerden machen sich die häufigsten Augenerkrankungen bemerkbar? Welche Ursachen stecken dahinter? Welche Behandlungsmöglichkeiten gibt es? Wie kann man der Entstehung von Augenkrankheiten vorbeugen, und welche Vorsorgeuntersuchungen (IGeL) sind sinnvoll? Gegliedert nach den Symptomen soll der Ratgeber als Entscheidungshilfe für richtiges Handeln dienen. Er hilft Symptome richtig einzuordnen, informiert den Leser über mögliche Erkrankungen und ermöglicht ihm so die Einschätzung, wie dringend eine augenärztliche Untersuchung erfolgen muss. Dabei wird nicht zur Selbstbehandlung angehalten. Der Ratgeber soll aber Ängste nehmen. Das Buch geht auf Besonderheiten bei Kindern, Erwachsenen und älteren Menschen ein. Die wichtigsten Vorsorgemaßnahmen und zusätzliche Informationen (z.B. „Wie gebe ich Augentropfen richtig?“) runden zusammen mit vielen Farbabbildungen das Buch ab.Trade ReviewAus den Rezensionen zur 2. Auflage: “... ein prima Nachschlagewerk für alle möglichen Symptome rund ums Auge ...

Book SynopsisDie Spaltlampe ist heute das meistgebrauchte und vielseitigste Untersuchungsgerät des Ophthalmologen.Der Atlas zeigt eine Vielzahl unentdeckter Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Spaltlampe und zeigt die Zukunftsfähigkeit des Gerätes auf.Diese Sammlung von über 4000 Abbildungen ist einzigartig, denn der Atlas zeigt, wie man mit der Spaltlampe nahezu die gesamte Augenheilkunde abbilden kann – vom Vorderabschnitt über den Augenhintergrund bis hin zur Motilität der Augen und den Lidern. Der Autor verbindet die traditionellen Untersuchungstechniken der Spaltlampe mit der Videografie als Form der Befunddokumentation.Neben der Konstruktionsgeschichte, der Technik sowie den Untersuchungsmöglichkeiten wird eine neue Form der Befunddokumentation, die Videografie mit der Spaltlampe, beschrieben. Dabei werden mit einer Videokamera nicht nur Befunde am Augenhintergrund durch ein vorgehaltenes hohes Plusglas dokumentiert. Die „kurzsichtige“ Spaltlampe wird mit einem Minusglas versorgt und ist dann in der Lage, auch Objekte in weiterer Entfernung zu sehen wie z. B. Augenmuskelstörungen oder das Gesicht des Patienten. So gelingt es, nicht nur den vorderen Augenabschnitt, sondern auch den Fundus sowie den Kammerwinkel und damit den gesamten Bulbus zu betrachten. Der Atlas wird durch einige Videos zur neuen Dokumentationsmethode ergänzt.Für alle AugenärztInnen und OptometristInnen in Praxis und Klinik gleichermaßen, die die Videografie und Verlaufsdokumentation nutzen oder vertiefen möchten oder einfach nur Interesse an diesem einzigartigen "Bilderschatz" und den einmaligen Fotodokumentationen haben.Table of ContentsI.

Book SynopsisPathologic myopia that is due to axial elongation causes thinning of the retina and choroid, especially in cases of posterior staphyloma. The result of this myopia is the development of various kinds of chorioretinal atrophy in the posterior pole, with a gradual progression of the atrophic changes extending over several decades. Until now, studies of atrophic lesions and their clinical course have been incomplete, and diagnostic standards and classification of chorioretinopathy have been unclear. The Atlas of Posterior Fundus Changes in Pathologic Myopia discusses these and other important questions on the basis of long-term observation and research. A major feature of the book is the presentation of many case studies, with generous use of full-color photographs to show in detail the course of fundus changes. The atlas is valuable resource not only for ophthalmologists interested in myopia but for optometrists, opticians, and medical students.Table of ContentsPreface.- Acknowledgments.- 1 Criteria for Diagnosis of Pathologic Myopia.- 2 Methods of Examining the Posterior Pole of the Fundus.- 2.1 Indirect Binocular Microscopy.- 2.2 Slit Lamp Biomicroscopy.- 2.3 Fundus Photography.- 2.4 Fundus Angiography.- 3 Types of Fundus Changes in the Posterior Pole.- 3.1 Tessellated Fundus and Crescent.- 3.2 Diffuse Chorioretinal Atrophy (D).- 3.3 Patchy Chorioretinal Atrophy (P).- 3.4 Macular Hemorrhage (H).- 4 Explanatory Factors of Chorioretinal Atrophy.- 4.1 Percentage of Chorioretinal Atrophy in Each Age Group.- 4.2 Percentage of Eyes with Chorioretinal Atrophy in Each Axial Length Group.- 4.3 Percentage of Chorioretinal Atrophy With or Without Posterior Staphyloma.- 5 Visual Acuity and Chorioretinal Atrophy.- 5.1 Distribution of Visual Acuity and Axial Length.- 5.2 Percentage of Diffuse Chorioretinal Atrophy by Visual Acuity.- 5.3 Percentage of Patchy Atrophy by Visual Acuity.- 5.4 Percentage of Eyes with Macular Hemorrhage.- 5.5 Visual Acuity and Area of Peripapillary Atrophy.- 6 Progression of Chorioretinal Atrophy in Cases of Long-Term Observation.- 6.1 Diffuse Chorioretinal Atrophy.- 6.2 Patchy Atrophy.- 6.3 Choroidal Neovascular Membrane.- 7 Progression of Fundus Changes in the Posterior Pole.- 7.1 Classification of Stage of Fundus Change in the Posterior Pole.- Appendix: Relationship Between Fundus Changes in the Posterior Pole and Visual Acuity.- A.1 Factors That Can Explain the Present Visual Acuity.- A.2 Prognosis of Visual Acuity According to Multivariant Analysis by Quantification II.- References.- Cases of Chorioretinal Atrophy.- Diffuse Chorioretinal Atrophy Cases 1–15.- Lacquer Crack Lesions and Simple Bleeding Cases 16–23.- Patchy Chorioretinal Atrophy Cases 24–37.- Myopic Choroidal Neovascularization (Fuchs’ Spot) Cases 38–52.

Book SynopsisThis book aims to build concepts and create a solid foundation in the field of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the general ophthalmologists as well as for the resident trainees and fellows. The chapters are written by leading international authorities in a style comprehensible to a broad audience. Numerous clinical pictures and SD-OCT scans help elucidate various clinical entities.OCT is the optical analog of ultrasound imaging and has emerged as a powerful imaging technique that enables non-invasive, in-vivo, high-resolution, cross-sectional imaging in retinal tissue. A new generation spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) technology has now been developed, representing a quantum leap in resolution and speed, achieving in vivo optical biopsy. i.e. the visualization of tissue architectural morphology in situ and in real time. This book encompasses the role of SD-OCT in both medical and surgical macular disorders. The book is meant coherent and comprehensive for both vitreoretinal specialists as well as general ophthalmologists.Trade Review“The main strengths of this book include an unparalleled collection of unique images with a high accuracy of interpretation, full coverage and detailed explanation of the topic by experts, and up-to-date knowledge of the field. Perhaps a weakness is minor redundancy of disease entities in different chapters by different authors. … this book is well suited for clinicians, clinical scientists, imaging experts, and anyone interested in OCT technology development.”(Igor Kozak, Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 257, 2019) ​Table of ContentsOptical coherence tomography: Basic principles of image analysis .- Normal Macula: Focus on IS-OS junction, external limiting membrane and choroidal thickness .- Diabetic Macular Edema.- Retinal Vein Occlusion.- Retinal Artery Occlusion .- Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration .- Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration .- Polypoidal Disease .- Optical Coherence Tomography in Age-related Macular Degeneration Pharmacotherapy .- Juxtafoveal Telangiectasia .- Central Serous Chorioretinopathy .- Idiopathic Epiretinal membranes .- Vitreomacular Traction Syndrome .- Idiopathic Macular Hole .- Surgery for Choroidal Neovascular Membrane and Macular Translocation .- Macula after Retinal Detachment Surgery .- Myopic Foveoschisis.- Retinal Degenerations and Dystrophies .- Retinal and Choroidal Inflammation .- Optic Disc Pit Maculopathy .- Retinopathy of Prematurity .- Posterior Segment Trauma .- Ocular Oncology .- Miscellaneous Retinal Disorders .- Three Dimensional Imaging in Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography .- Intraoperative OCT .- Ultra High Resolution OCT

Aunque estas técnicas se basan en dispositivos que no son láseres por definición, la radiación electromagnética se utiliza para manipular terapéuticamente los tejidos y estos temas encajan de manera perfecta en el esquema general de este manual.Table of ContentsSección 1 Historia y fundamentos del láser1 Historia del láser2 Los láseres, la responsabilidad y la doctrina del consentimiento informado3 La ciencia básica y el mecanismo de los componentes del láser4 Interacciones láser-tejido5 Peligros del láser, seguridad y lesionesSección 2 Procedimientos corneales con láser6 Queratectomía fotorrefractiva7 Queratomileusis in situ con láser8 Extracción de lentícula de pequeña incisión9 El láser de femtosegundo en el trasplante de córnea10 Entrecruzamiento de colágeno cornealSección 3 Procedimientos de glaucoma 11 Trabeculoplastia con láser de argón12 Trabeculoplastia selectiva con láser13 Trabeculoplastia con láser MicroPulse14 Iridotomía periférica e iridoplastia15 Ciclofotocoagulación endoscópicaSección 4 Cataratas y lente intraocular16 Cirugía de cataratas asistida por láser de femtosegundo17 Capsulotomía con láser Nd:YAGSección 5 Retina y vítreo18 Tratamiento láser para las miodesopsias (vitreolisis)19 Fotocoagulación panretiniana20 Láser macular focal y de retícula21 Retinopexia láserSección 6 Oculoplástica22 Terapia de luz pulsada intensa23 Láseres no ablativos en estética24 Láseres ablativos en estética
