Book SynopsisUnblinded is the true story of New Yorker Kevin Coughlin, who became blind at age thirty-six due to a rare genetic disorder known as Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy. Twenty years later, without medical intervention, Kevin’s sight miraculously started to return. He is the only known person in the world who has experienced a spontaneous, non-medically assisted, regeneration of the optic nerve. Unblinded follows Kevin’s descent into darkness, and his unexplained reemergence to sight.Trade Review"Unblinded is a once-in-a-lifetime story, a journey through darkness and light, love and loss, awakening and discovery. Its pages take us, at once, on a remarkable true adventure and into the heart and mind of a most extraordinary individual. A beautifully written and inspiring tale, and a reminder to us all about what really matters."—ROBERT KURSON, New York Times bestselling author of Crashing Through, Shadow Divers, and Pirate Hunters "Unblinded tells a remarkable story of sudden blindness, new vision, and sight regained. It offers great insight into the nature of reality--that which we perceive and that which we create for ourselves." —ISAAC LIDSKY, New York Times bestselling author of Eyes Wide Open"Unblinded provides honest, profound insight into the emotional trauma that occurs when vision is lost and the path forward in life cannot be seen." —LISSA POINCENOT, National Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Advocate "Miracles can happen from the inside out. In Unblinded, Traci Medford-Rosow leads us through the wondrous story of one man's experience of overcoming blindness. Unblinded takes the reader on a fascinating, behind-the-scenes tour of what went on during those years of darkness and how Kevin Coughlin, after battling alcoholism, loneliness, prejudice, and perhaps most of all himself, emerges as a man of wisdom and sight." —ANN CAMPANELLA, Award-winning and bestselling author of Motherhood: Lost and Found"A tale about overcoming personal tragedy risks sentimentality. Unblinded offers instead a sightless perspective on reality that could engage a physicist."—PROF. NEIL J. SULLIVAN, Author: The Prometheus Bomb and The Dodgers Move WestThis biography chronicles a man’s sudden vision loss, his self-reinvention, and his seemingly miraculous partial recovery of sight. In New York City in February 1997, Coughlin’s sight began deteriorating. Five days later, he was completely blind—stricken in his 30s by a rare, irreversible genetic disorder of the optic nerve that normally affects teens and young adults. Already alcohol-dependent, he was soon unemployed and dependent on disability checks. He confronted countless challenges in navigating city life, including physical barriers, inconsiderate strangers, and bureaucratic delays. In his favor, however, were his persistence and his preternatural ability to enlist help from others. For example, he persuaded a clerk to sell him a cane without the required mobility certification, and an ally at Gay Men’s Health Crisis helped him join a support group of HIV-positive blind people even though he was upfront about being HIV-negative. He continued to pursue his love of visual arts and photography by engaging a curator to narrate museum visits and a sighted Alcoholics Anonymous colleague to help take pictures. Coughlin also achieved sobriety and took up meditation, prayer, and ayurvedic practices. His physical and spiritual health improved, which helped him deal with the loss of another job and a beloved guide dog. Fifteen years after becoming blind, his sight began to return, but he already saw life differently. He began a journal (reprinted as an appendix), in which he cites “patience, prayer and turmeric” as “the corner stones of my journey out of the darkness.” Each chapter closes with a selected journal entry, foreshadowing and eventually merging with the narrative. Medford-Rosow (Inflection Point, 2015) and debut author Coughlin skillfully condense two decades into 33 easy-to-read vignettes about Coughlin’s challenges, setbacks, and breakthroughs. This results in a multilayered account that works on several levels, offering granular details of the blindness experience, detailing the difference between physical sight and personal vision, and highlighting the redemptive power of healing. The authors convey Coughlin’s spirituality and faith without being preachy, and they balance poignant moments with workaday complaints and unvarnished assessments of Coughlin’s behavior and relationships. The patient delivery allows this truly exceptional story to speak for itself. An emotional account of a remarkable personal odyssey. —Kirkus Starred Review

Book SynopsisNamed after the pioneering Scottish ophthalmologist, Sir Stewart Duke-Elder, this exam is intended for medical students who have completed their ophthalmology undergraduate teaching, but it is open to all medical undergraduates provided they have not graduated at the time of the examination. Students may take the examination on more than one occasion provided they have not yet graduated and have not previously won the prize. The exam is a notoriously competitive and difficult exam to sit during medical school. Each year students can register for the exam before December and the exam is held in early March. Two hours are allocated to answer ninety multiple choice questions. The standard of some questions that students encounter is beyond those of the undergraduate ophthalmology curriculum experienced during medical school. It consists of questions from the different sub-specialties within ophthalmology (Eye News). Sponsored by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, the candidate gaining the highest mark will be offered to chance to visit St John’s Eye Hospital in Jerusalem. The winning candidate can alternatively choose a cash prize of £400. Although not a mandatory part of ophthalmology training, students are encouraged to take the exam as a pass gives a credit on the CV and also gains points towards an ST1 interview. It is also good practice in preparation for other exams.Compiled by authors who have all passed the Duke Elder examination, this book presents 180 multiple choice questions and answers with clear and in-depth explanations. The first section provides a structured practice paper sectioned out by topic to assist revision, and the second section consists of a full unstructured mock exam. Questions have been written specifically with the Duke Elder exam in mind, making this book an invaluable revision aid to help achieve success in the examination.Table of ContentsSuccess in the Duke Elder Examination

Book SynopsisThis book provides a list of concise extemporaneous ophthalmic preparations, and standardizes the formulation of the products by suggesting specific strength, route of administration, appropriate vehicle, and method of preparation. Pharmaceutical industries have greatly expanded their share of ophthalmic drugs in recent years. However, physicians and pharmacists are frequently called to prepare sterile products intended for ophthalmic use due to lack of availability of licensed drugs in the market. This book contains the most appropriate formulation of each medication based on published and documented stability data. Extemporaneous Ophthalmic Preparations is the first book of its kind, making it a unique and valuable companion for many physicians and pharmacy practitioners who are frequently engaged in the compounding of sterile ophthalmic preparation.Table of Contents

Book SynopsisKeeping up to date with advances in comprehensive ophthalmology and in the ophthalmic sub-specialties is extremely difficult because of the accelerating rapidity with which new information and technology become available and the diminishing time and opportunity for practitioners and trainees to read and learn. The first edition of Albert and Jakobiec’s Principles and Practice (1994) was conceived with the idea of utilizing an electronic, updated version in which the chapters were revised by the chapter authors on an annual or semi-annual basis, but the technology was not sufficiently advanced to achieve this goal. Subsequent editions (2000 and 2008) were organized by Saunders and the last published by Elsevier (of which Springer has obtained the complete rights to move forward with the 4th edition). For nearly three decades, this text has provided its readers with authoritative and comprehensive coverage of clinical ophthalmology, written and edited by a group of authors who represented a “Who’s Who” in ophthalmology. By using Springer’s Meteor platform, with its ability to allow authors and editors access to updating their chapters online annually/semi-annually, and with the recruitment of select chapter authors, this work’s usefulness as the standard text in ophthalmology will be maintained and expanded upon by Springer. The 4th edition of this comprehensive and authoritative text is written by hundreds of the most distinguished authorities from around the world and edited by four leaders in the field, providing today's best answers to every question that arises in ophthalmology practice. Richly illustrated with thousands of high quality, full color, clinically-relevant images, Albert and Jakobiec's Principles and Practice of Ophthalmology, 4th Edition covers every scientific and clinical principle in ophthalmology, ensuring that the reader will always be able to find the guidance needed to diagnose and manage patients' ocular problems and meet today's standards of care. Written for practicing ophthalmologists and trainees, this book delivers in-depth guidance on new diagnostic approaches, operative techniques, and treatment options, as well as coherent explanations of new scientific concept and its clinical importance. The 4th edition will prove to be the source every practicing clinician needs to efficiently and confidently overcome any clinical challenge they may face. Updates include new chapters on anterior and posterior segment diseases, as well as chapters more focused on treatment, plus thousands of new, high-quality, color images and illustrations, updated references, and information on the most cutting-edge technology used by clinicians in their practices today. Additionally, readers will enjoy the same, user-friendly, full-color design they remember from the previous edition, complete with many at-a-glance summary tables, algorithms, boxes, and diagrams that allow the reader to locate the assistance needed more rapidly than ever.

Book SynopsisWith this book, Dr. Zivojnovic presents to the ophthalmic community the long awaited detailed report of his surgical concepts and operative techniques in the field of vitreoretinal surgery. It is fascinating to read how his concepts for the treatment of complicated retinal detachments evolved from the intra­ ocular use of silicone oil to a combination of vitreous surgery with silicone oil tamponade. The next step was surgical treatment of the retina itself. It takes an unconventional mind to break major taboos and to state the retinotomies and retinectomies are necessary if scar tissue cannot be surgically removed and that buckling procedures are no longer necessary to treat retinal breaks. This book discusses the use of silicone oil in vitreoretinal surgery. Silicone oil tamponade has been proven to be a major step forward in vitreoretinal surgery and the reported results speak for themselves. The reader may have the impression that silicone is thought to be indispensible for almost all cases undergoing this type of surgery but this modality is used to treat severe cases where the chances of success are greatly enhanced by using silicone oil. Dr. Zivojnovic remains the forerunner and great surgeon who readily admits the limitations of his techniques: 'The surgical operative treatment is only partly adequate and, unfortunately, despite the correctly performed operation, often does not lead to the desired result'.Trade Review"Anybody interested in modern vitreoretinal surgery should read this book. While the emphasis is on the use of liquid silicone oil, the surgical principles hold true for most vitreoretinal cases. ...an appreciation of the creative genius of Zivojnovic."

Book SynopsisThis series of books is designed to help general practitioners. So are other books. What is unusual in this instance is their collec­ tive authorship; they are written by specialists working at district general hospitals. The writers derive their own experi­ ence from a range of cases less highly selected than those on which textbooks are traditionally based. They are also in a good position to pick out topics which they see creating difficulties for the practitioners of their district, whose personal capacities are familiar to them; and to concentrate on contexts where mistakes are most likely to occur. They are all well-accustomed to working in consultation. All the authors write from hospital experience and from the viewpoint of their specialty. There are, therefore, matters important to family practice which should be sought not within this series, but elsewhere. Within the series much practical and useful advice is to be found with which the general practitioner can compare his existing performance and build in new ideas and improved techniques. These books are attractively produced and I recommend them.Table of ContentsSeries Foreword.- 1 History.- 2 Examination.- visual acuity.- visual fields.- colour vision.- external examination.- internal examination.- opthalmoscopy.- 3 The red eye.- conjunctivitis.- episcleritis.- keratitis.- iritis.- acute glaucoma.- 4 The external eye.- lids.- conjunctiva.- 5 The internal eye.- Examination of the inner eye.- alteration in pigment.- toxoplasmosis.- toxocara.- opaque nerve fibres.- 6 Sudden loss of vision.- migraine.- amaurosis fugax.- renal artery occlusion.- temporal arteritis.- retinal vein occlusion.- vitreous.- retinal detachment.- 7 Slow loss of vision.- cataract.- chronic glaucoma.- macular degeneration.- 8 Trauma.- superficial injuries.- lacerations.- penetrating injuries.- blunt injury.- chemical injuries.- radiation injuries.- 9 Paediatric ophthalmology.- squint.- watering eyes.- ptosis.- congenital glaucoma.- retinoblastoma.- 10 The eye and systemic disease.- thyroid disease.- the fundus.- hypertension.- diabetes.- papilloedema.- multiple sclerosis.- 11 Ocular pharmacology.

Book SynopsisThe book presents the most common problems seen in neuro-ophthalmology in a case-based learning format that provides rapid access and is easy to read. The user friendly format guides and stimulates the reader to identify the distinctive symptoms in the main complaint and history; to define the differentiating signs on neuro-ophthalmic exam; and to describe the key laboratory or neuroimaging in specific entities. It also challenges the reader to ask additional questions of themselves and others by providing an initial set of questions and answers on specific neuro-ophthalmologic topics.The questions chosen are meant to simulate “real world” questions in the clinic; the answers given serve to provide both the rationale for the correct answer and the explanations or reasons for the incorrect but plausible answers that might distract or mislead a clinician in specific neuro-ophthalmic cases.Table of ContentsTransient Visual Loss; Homonymous Hemianopsia; Bitemporal Hemianopsia; Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy; Papilledema (Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension); Thyroid Eye Disease; Myasthenia Gravis; Toxic Optic Neuropathy; Optic Neuritis; Third Nerve Palsy; Fourth Nerve Palsy; Sixth Nerve Palsy; Anisocoria; Carotid Cavernous Fistula.

Book SynopsisThis book is a detailed investigation into how understanding the human visual system can lead to the development of colour constancy in a range of applications, from digital photography to object colour recognition in robotics. The book begins with an in-depth discussion of the human visual system and how we perceive colour.Trade Review"I think Ebner's Color Constancy is an excellent summary of current algorithms, and provides empirical tests in a womanlike manner … As an inclusive time capsule, it has no parallel, and therefore is a valuable contribution to the field."

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.
