Diseases Of The Macula

Liberally illustrated throughout with over 400 photographs (300 in full colour), this reference provides a practical and clinically oriented approach to the diagnosis and management of macular disorders. It covers not only diseases that primarily affect the macula, such as age-related macular degeneration, but also those that might have an indirect but never-the-less significant effect on macular function, such as vascular and inflammatory diseases. Many diseases in this book are illustrated with brief case studies, to help bring them to life and facilitate learning. With over 400 top quality clinical pictures, this book enables easy visual recognition of macular diseases. Covers all disorders associated with macular degeneration not only age-related macular degeneration. Includes case histories which is an invaluable and unique diagnostic tool that facilitates learning. Each chapter covers the most common disease first, followed by less common conditions which guides the reader towards an accurate diagnosis. Written as a quick and easy reference.

The Fifth Edition of Gass' Atlas of Macular Diseases, by Dr. Anita Agarwal, provides expert diagnostic guidance on macular disorders and quickly brings you up to date on this evolving specialty. Using a case-based approach, it richly depicts a full range of retina and macular diseases, including new infectious, degenerative, and dystrophic conditions. Take advantage of the latest imaging technologies to identify common and rare disorders, and confirm difficult diagnoses with the aid of more than 5,500 high-quality images. Printed in full color for the first time, this edition is accessible online at www.expertconsult.com. "... appropriate for highly ambitious residents, retina fellows and specialists, and general ophthalmologists who are looking for an excellent reference book with a proud lineage and impeccable reputation." Reviewed by ESCRS EuroTimes (European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery), Apr 2015 Rely on the same unique, richly illustrated case-descriptive format-encompassing history, clinical examination, and follow-up-that popularized the original book by the late Dr. Donald Gass, the famed ophthalmologist whose clinical expertise set new standards in macular diagnosis. Get expert diagnostic guidance under the new authorship of Dr. Anita Agarwal, a protégé of Dr. Gass who has compiled the ultimate collection of images and hard-to-find case studies. Evaluate macular diseases using the latest techniques including fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), indocyanine green (ICG), and fundus autofluorescence. Visualize the conditions you're likely to see in practice and confirm your diagnoses by comparing your clinical findings to more than 5,500 images and illustrations (over 3,500 in full color).

This book introduces up-to-date knowledge of vitreal and retinal diseases with color fundus illustrations. The retinal layers of different lesions normally look like a single plane for junior doctors in Ophthalmology. With the help of the fundus camera, the stereo color images with different shooting angles are taken and the retina looks vivid and stereoscopic in the photograph. Although the technology of "deciphering" retina diseases is constantly advancing, the stereo fundus photography (SFP) is still indispensable, which can not only reveals the retina stereoscopically and comprehensively, but also has been the gold standard for certain diseases, such as glaucoma and retina angiomatous proliferation (RAP). Meanwhile, the equipment demands for SFP are not so high and can be easily promoted in the grass-roots hospitals. In this book, we carefully collected and organized more than 300 stereo color fundus images and angiography pictures of various vitreal and retinal diseases for readers to recognize the three dimensional features at first glance, such as retinal bleeding at different layers, optic disc change of glaucoma, macular diseases, tumors, RAP and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).

Written by the foremost authorities from around the world, this full-color text describes and thoroughly illustrates state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment modalities for macular disorders. Coverage begins with contemporary techniques for evaluation of the macula, including optical coherence tomography, microperimetry, and the multifocal electroretinogram. Chapters on outpatient and medical therapies cover laser treatment, intravitreal triamcinolone, and use of photodynamic therapy, transpupillary thermotherapy, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs, and antioxidants for age-related macular degeneration. Internationally acclaimed experts describe surgeries for epiretinal membrane, vitreomacular traction syndrome, idiopathic macular hole, choroidal neovascularization, diabetic macular edema, myopic foveoschisis, and retinal vein occlusion. A DVD accompanying the book contains videos of eleven surgical procedures: epiretinal membrane removal macular hole surgery with trypan blue and indocyanine green staining macular hole surgery with internal limiting membrane removal using triamcinolone surgical removal of choroidal neovascular membrane (submacular surgery) limited macular translocation macular translocation with 360-degree retinotomy surgery for diabetic macular edema surgery for myopic foveoschisis radial optic neurotomy for central retinal vein occlusion arteriovenous sheathotomy for branch retinal vein occlusion 25-gauge transconjunctival standard vitrectomy for macular pucker

As the number of patients with macular diseases continues to increase, new diagnostic and therapeutic tools are simultaneously being introduced. This book presents new clinical approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of macular diseases. Internationally recognized surgeons present their latest results regarding their experiences in the macular area. Macular hole surgery is discussed in detail, as well as different therapeutic approaches for age related macular degeneration. A description on the latest advances in laser scanning ophthalmoscopy and in multi-focal ERG is also included. Other papers examine complications in the removal of the posterior vitreous cortex, the use of intraocular implants for drug delivery, and a review of current experimental therapies for AMD. This book will appeal to retinologists, ophthalmologists, and in particular retinal surgeons, with an interest in future developments in this field.

Choroidal Disorders provides an overview on various chorioretinal disorders with a special emphasis on choroidal imaging. As our understanding of the choroid has significantly improved with the development of advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its role in posterior segment diseases is gaining new significance, this book focuses on the related improvements, diagnostic capabilities, management and prognosis of various chorioretinal disorders. It covers conventional techniques, such as ultrasonography and indocyanine green angiography as well as the most advanced techniques, including enhanced depth imaging OCT, swept source OCT, and OCT angiography. Concise overview of various chorioretinal disorders, with special emphasis on choroidal imaging Written for practitioners and researchers in sensory systems (vision), ophthalmologists, and retina specialists Covers the most advanced imaging techniques in choroidal disorders, such as enhanced depth imaging OCT, swept source OCT, and OCT angiography
