Book SynopsisTrade Review"This Atlas would make a worthy addition to any departmental library, and is a useful resource for the ophthalmologist who is an 'occasional oculoplastic surgeon'." "an impressive addition to the current library of available textbooks. It is very useful as a reference for specific techniques and procedures" "I would take it a step further and say that it might be as good or even better than being there in the OR, watching the surgeon perform each procedure. Why? Because the videos are well edited, the view and the lighting are excellent, the procedures are accelerated through the repetitive steps such as suturing and cautering, the important points are highlighted, and the voice-over is clear, unhurried and undistracted by the actual operation."

Book SynopsisThis volume introduces and explains an eye-opening treatment for correcting nearsightedness and related vision problems naturally and neurologically. The author presents his methodology on neurologically correcting primary refractive errors in the mild and moderate myopic range. Ortho C (or orthoculogy, which is Latin for "correcting the whole eye") is a natural treatment, requiring no alteration to the cornea.Key features of the book:• Introduces a neurological and natural treatment for the correction of nearsightedness• Presents many case studies showing the effectiveness of this treatment, based on the author’s 30+ years of research• Provides step-by-step instructions for designing lenses to suit the need, determining the sequence of wear, and conducting resistance tests• Grants readers the right to apply Ortho C to treat any patients with mild and moderate myopia, anisometropia, or compound astigmatism.Trade Review“John William Yee has made a major personal effort to design preventive methods for this difficult problem, and these methods are effective. It is always difficult to pioneer an alternative treatment in a field as conservative as optometry, and it takes a bold ‘soul’ to take these first steps. John has made a strong personal commitment to his research. . . . In this book, he offers this knowledge to professionals. . . . His pioneering development of Ortho C shows promise to effectively prevent nearsightedness at the threshold. His standard of professionalism and his commitment to support the welfare of others sets a high example for all of us.”- From the Foreword by Otis S. Brown, Author of How to Avoid Nearsightedness, Waynesboro, PA, United States“A timely publication as the optical professions are currently addressing the explosion of myopia since the 1970s and it is predicted that almost 50% of the world’s population will be myopic by 2050. Today, myopia control is front and center for eye care professionals looking for solutions to control and reverse this condition. They will find that John’s research and subsequent therapy will support their practice and expanding knowledge. John’s dedication to this ‘epidemic’ is an inspiration. I highly recommended it as required reading for all opticians!” - Lorne Kashin, RO, Executive Director, Ontario Opticians AssociationTable of ContentsPart 1: Defining The Problem 1. Why Ortho C? 2.

Book SynopsisThe number of the millions of blind in the world continues to grow, causing needless social and economic deprivation. Most of these blind can be cured, and much of the remainder prevented if all people had access to the simple and effective interventions that already exist. In this newly revised fourth edition of ‘Eye Care in Developing Nations’, the author describes in practical detail, what these interventions consist of and how they can be readily implemented. This is the handyman’s guide to delivering eye services to low-resource populations, whether they are pockets of poverty in otherwise affluent countries or broadly deprived populations living in the developing world.Demand for the first three editions from around the world has proved this book’s value. In this expanded and updated edition all chapters have been revised to reflect developments in public health and in medical and surgical treatments and techniques. The book’s value is further enhanced in the fourth edition by the greater emphasis given to clinical ophthalmology and the provision for the first time of colour photos and diagrams throughout.Table of ContentsIntroduction to Public Health Ophthalmology: Public Health, Preventative Care, Eye Care Delivery, Evaluation and Sustainability.

Book SynopsisSeeing Through New Eyes offers an accessible introduction to the treatment of visual dysfunction, a significant but neglected problem associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and other developmental disabilities.Dr. Kaplan identifies common ASD symptoms such as hand-flapping, poor eye contact and tantrums as typical responses to the confusion caused by vision disorder. He also explains the effects of difficulties that people with autism experience with "ambient vision", including a lack of spatial awareness and trouble with coordination. Other chapters give guidance on how to identify the visual deficits of nonverbal children, select prism lenses that will alter the visual field, and create individually tailored programs of therapy in order to retrain the system.This book is essential reading for parents of children with ASDs, and professionals in the fields of autism, optometry and ophthalmology, psychology and education.Trade ReviewKaplan, an optometrist (eye/vision specialist) with extensive experience of working with individuals with development disabilities, shares his enthusiasm and attempts to explain the theory behind his work. -- Community CareKaplan, an optometrist and Director of the center for visual management, believes visual dysfunction to be a significant but neglected problem associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and other developmental disabilities. He points to some of the behaviours associated with ASD, such as poor eye contact as proof, and promotes identifying and diagnosing visual defects in children so professionals can determine appropriate therapies such as prism lenses. -- Book NewsI've been amazed at how the yoked prism lenses Dr. Kaplan uses can have an immediate impact on a child's behavior. These instant changes can translate, with the help of vision therapy, into long-term changes including better attention, increased speech, enhanced social skills, and better academic performance. They also can result in a happier, less anxious, less tense individual, with more energy to understand and enjoy the world. -- From the Foreword by Stephen M. Edelson, Autism Research Institute, San Diego, CAThis book is a must read for any doctor who wishes to treat and/or perform VT on those with autism or developmental disabilities. It is well organized and has a logical flow. If you chose to incorporate individuals on the autism spectrum in your practice, this book will be a good resource. -- Journal of Behavioural Optometry, 2007Table of ContentsForeword, Stephen Edelson, Autism Research Institute, San Diego Part I: Understanding Visual Dysfunction and the Role of Prism Lenses and Vision Therapy. 1.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive overview of vision problems in children with developmental disabilities such as AD/HD, autism spectrum disorders, and specific learning disabilities.Written in a very accessible style, it is appropriate for parents and professionals alike and offers non-technical explanations of how vision difficulties are screened for and advice on where to seek appropriate professional care. Lisa Kurtz outlines a range of activities for strengthening children's functional vision and perceptual skills using simple, homemade materials that are readily available in the home or classroom.This is an excellent practical companion for parents of children with visual perception problems and the professionals who work with them.Trade Review`This short book is a reliable introduction to a complex area of need which is all too often masked by a child's other, more obvious difficulties. The practical suggestions provide useful starting points for both specific visual difficulties and general visual development…This book is a good reminder that it is crucial for parents and practitioners to promote alternative activities that provide opportunities for children to practice and develop their visual skills.' -- Support for Learning (NASEN)`an excellent resource for any parent, teacher or professional whose child is presenting with subtle vision difficulties as it contains quite a few gems (eg explanations, screening tests, addresses and activities) which adds to the knowledge of the reader.' -- Good Autism Practice`Lisa Kurtz writes in an open and informative way which holds your attention giving an easy to understand description of the problem experienced by many of the children that we see in `Special Times' -- Play Therapy UK`This book is exceptionally practical. Kurtz keeps parents in mind throughout by providing the medical lingo to necessary inform, but not to confuse.

Book Synopsis'Ophthalmology departments are among the busiest in any hospital, meaning that opportunities for direct teaching are limited, and the demand for juniors to undertake procedures is significant.' From the Preface Ophthalmology is a challenging and rewarding specialty that is underrepresented in undergraduate education and, consequently, trainee ophthalmologists often begin training with little or no experience in the specific skills required. This book provides the trainee ophthalmologist with a guide to a multitude of practical skills which form The Royal College of Ophthalmologists' syllabus. Using the College curriculum as a structure for the techniques discussed, each topic maintains a consistent format throughout, with RCOphth codes and target years of achievement, an aim, a list of equipment required and a methodical outline of the procedure. In some cases, discussion of the basic principles underlying an investigative technique, or the physiology of a particular sign, is included. Line drawings illustrate techniques where necessary, and vital 'pearls' of information are included as top tips for success. The appendix contains a concise summary of 50 major ophthalmic studies and papers, together with a summary of RCOphth and NICE guidance pertinent to ophthalmology. A much-needed addition to support the trainee's learning environment, Ophthalmic DOPS and OSATS: the handbook for work-based assessments serves as a vital reference as skills are learned and refined either in the workplace or during FRCOphth examination preparation. 'There are 179 competency requirements of the ophthalmology trainee embedded in The Royal College of Ophthalmologists' training curriculum. This may seem daunting to the trainee with little experience in ophthalmology in a learning environment that has hitherto been reliant on an apprenticeship model of experiential learning.'

Book SynopsisMedical Management of Glaucoma is a comprehensive review of glaucoma, current pharmacological therapies, and treatment guidelines for the disease as put forth by the American Academy of Ophthalmologists (AAO) and European Glaucoma Society (EGS). This book will review glaucoma’s definition, classes, epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenesis (especially discussing intraocular pressure, aqueous humor production, and outflow), diagnosis and assessment tools, and current therapeutic options for patients. Medical Management of Glaucoma will also give ophthalmologists and related healthcare professionals insight into how the patient is affected by their disease by reviewing quality of life issues, adherence, and costs of therapy, which is particularly significant as the management of this chronic disease should be tailored for each patient.​Table of ContentsAuthor biographies.- Abbreviations.- Foreword.- Introduction.- Pathogenesis of glaucoma.- Diagnosing glaucoma.- Medical management of glaucoma.
