Smolin And Thoft S The Cornea

Smolin and Thoft’s The Cornea is often praised as the best available source of information on corneal and external diseases. This new edition, with its greatly expanded color atlas section, continues to provide guidance on diagnosing and managing problems associated with the cornea. It is now fully updated and contains additional information on corneal surgery, refractive surgery, and stem cell grafting, and a new chapter on optical and therapeutic contact lenses.

This text covers both basic science and clincal aspects of the cornea and associated external diseases. In this edition the editors have incorporated relevant basic science information into the clinical science chapters. It also contains an expanded surgery section - especially refractive surgery. Emphasis on the third edition is on clinical information (the basic science has been incorporated into the clincial chapters). The clinical section has been expanded by ten per cent to reflect changes in the field.

Written and designed to enhance your understanding of ocular function, structure, and anatomy, Adler's Physiology of the Eye is a classic, best-selling text that makes critical information easier to learn and retain. The fully revised 12th Edition continues the successful Adler’s approach that connects basic science and clinical aspects in a user-friendly, highly visual format—ideal for study, review, and exam preparation. It captures the latest molecular, genetic, and biochemical discoveries and offers you unparalleled knowledge and insight into the physiology of the eye and its structures. Covers the full structure and function of the eye and its related anatomy and makes the connection between physiology and clinical practice. Includes major updates throughout, including new information on OCT/OCTA imaging, new drug delivery methods, ocular biomechanics, and evolving gene therapies. Organizes content by function, rather than anatomy, to help you make a stronger connection between physiological principles and clinical practice. Explains the physiological principles that underlie visual acuity, intraocular pressure, ocular circulation, the extraocular muscles, and much more. Features approximately 1,000 illustrations throughout, including medical artwork; schematics, charts, and graphs; clinical photographs; and more. Any additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date.

Comprehensive Manual of Ophthalmology in which sufficient information has been provided in easy-to-understand language with a definite and uniform format. Many tables have been incorporated for summarizing key facts about different diseases. Enough standard colored illustrations will be of immense help. A short list of Further Readings has been added at the end of each chapter for those who want to persue further on the particular topic. I consider this humble endeavor as a mini textbook of ophthalmology in a refreshingly reader-friendly fashion, which I presume will be quite useful for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, residents and even practicing ophthalmologists.

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye covering the iris and the pupil, allowing light to enter and covering two thirds of the eye’s focusing tasks. This two volume set is a comprehensive guide to the latest research and techniques for the cornea. Beginning with basic science, examination techniques and epidemiology, the following chapters discuss the diagnosis and the medical and surgical treatment of numerous different conditions and diseases that may affect the cornea. Written by an extensive international editor and author team, this manual features more than 1300 full colour clinical and histopathological images, as well as a DVD demonstrating a multitude of surgical techniques described in the book.

This text provides expert instruction on the varying surgical techniques currently employed for the regeneration of the ocular surface. Corneal Regeneration: Therapy and Surgery begins with a thorough discussion of current research based on data obtained in clinical human studies, and discusses the potential clinical implications for this promising new stage of eye surgery. Sections devoted to the stem cell, regenerative surgery and therapy of the ocular surface epithelium, corneal stroma, and corneal endothelium follow, each section comprehensively covering applied anatomy, current therapy and regenerative techniques, with a look to future directions of the field including eventual cell therapy. Corneal Regeneration: Therapy and Surgery is the first book of its kind, systematically covering the developments the medical community has achieved in corneal regeneration from all angles. Written and edited by leading experts in the field, researchers and ophthalmologists alike will find this to be a unique source of information on corneal regeneration, as well as a thoughtful reflection on potential applications of regenerative surgery in ophthalmology as a whole.

The only reference available that synthesizes this vast subspecialty into a single trustworthy resource, Cornea, 5th Edition, provides state-of-the-art coverage of the expanding range of contemporary corneal surgery, new diagnostic and imaging technologies, and medical management of corneal and external disease as well as ocular surface disease. Drs. Mark J. Mannis, Edward J. Holland, and a team of more than 200 global experts keep you up to date with both common and more obscure diseases and disorders and the best route to effective treatment and management, making this two-volume text a must-have resource for residents and fellows, general ophthalmologists, and seasoned cornea specialists. Features more than 2,300 exceptionally clear illustrations, diagnostic images, and step-by-step surgical photographs that offer superb visual guidance. Contains 14 new chapters, including Nanothin DSAEK, Aqueous Deficiency Dry Eye Syndrome, Evaluation of Recurrent Corneal Erosions, Evaluation of the Corneal Ulcer, Contemporary Approaches to the Biosynthetic Cornea, and Topography Guided Photorefractive Keratectomy, and more. Includes more than 80 video clips of current corneal surgery techniques, including new clips of the application of cryopreserved amniotic membrane in the treatment of acute stevens , penetrating keratoplasty, DM rupture management in STALK and in the keratonconus patient, and KAMRA corneal inlay implantation. Covers the latest developments in ocular surface transplantation, including new chapters on Conjunctival Limbal Autograft (CLAU); Living Related Conjunctival Limbal Allograft (Lr-CLAL); Keratolimbal Allograft; Cultivated Limbal Epithelial Transplantation; Simple Limbal Epithelial Transplantation; and Outcomes of Ocular Surface Transplantation. Provides key point overviews in each chapter that offer easier access to crucial information.
