Book SynopsisCongenital glaucoma is a complex problem, which has been a frequent cause of blindness in the past. Over the past decades, the prognosis of congenital glaucoma has completely changed. Surgical results are very good and enable these children to integrate entirely as adults in society.Based on the authors’ accumulated experience of more than 50 years and 860 cases operated for congenital glaucoma, this well-structured and lavishly illustrated textbook-atlas covers all aspects of congenital and infantile glaucoma, such as the original method for examining new-borns under general anaesthesia in the slit-lamp, the signs and symptoms of the disease and the differential diagnosis, the role and importance of the echometry value for early diagnosis, the gonioscopy results and the three types of congenital glaucomas (pure, refractory and late) and the type of surgery to be performed in each case with the evaluation of follow-up long-term results. Written by renowned international experts of the field, this book will become the golden standard in the field of Pediatric and Congenital Glaucomas.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:"It is a comprehensive presentation of the diagnosis, treatment, and pathology of the various causes of glaucoma in children. … This work is intended for ophthalmologists who care for children with glaucoma. Its detailed figures and descriptions of surgical techniques make it ideal for glaucoma surgeons in training as well as practicing glaucoma specialists. … This book provides a unique and authoritative discussion of the diagnosis and surgical treatment of pediatric glaucoma." (Monte Dean Mills, Doody’s Review Service, May, 2009)“This hard-cover book … is divided into 28 chapters on different aspects of congenital glaucoma for specialists and residents. … The book is full of images, which makes it user-friendly… . All in all I would recommend this book, which is certainly a good asset for every glaucoma specialist to have as a reference.” (Michele Iester, Graefe’s Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 248, 2010)“Pediatric glaucomas is probably the most interesting and in-depth books on this topic I have ever read. … I highly recommend Pedriatic glaucoma. Besides being a valuable tool for ophthalmologists that deal with this fascinating and difficult topic, this book is surely beneficial for all doctors in search of greater knowledge beyond our modern technological world, which often causes us to forget about the ethical, humane, and non instrumental aspects of our day-to-day clinical work.”­­­ (Paolo Brusini, European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011)Table of ContentsPrimary Congenital Glaucoma.- Pediatrics Glaucoma.

Book SynopsisBlindness or serious vision impairment is one of the most feared disabilities known to humankind. A 2016 report compiled by the National Eye Institute (NEI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Prevent Blindness America states that although half of all blindness can be prevented, the number of people who suffer vision loss continues to increase. The technique of dynamic light scattering (DLS) was developed by physicists in the late 1960s to early 1970s. DLS is now emerging as a potential ophthalmic tool, making possible studies of virtually every tissue and fluid comprising the eye, thus pushing the envelope for broader applications in ophthalmology. This book presents a comprehensive review of the application of light scattering in clinical use. It is the first of its kind, offering insight to how DLS can be applied to the human eye as well as animals. Chapters discuss DLS in neurological diseases, including protocols, informed consent, and patents. Dynamic Light Scattering Spectroscopy of the Human Eye is a must-have resource for physicians, engineers, and physicists interested in the clinical application of DLS to diagnose and potentially treat medical conditions in a non-invasive, quantitative and novel way.

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.
