Age-related macular degeneration has become the most common cause of blindness. With population ageing AMD will become an ever more prevalent cause of visual loss. Here, an expert panel of experienced clinicians and eminent basic scientists provide an authoritative review on the pathogenesis, epidemiology and risk factors, diagnostic methods, imaging modalities and treatment strategies for age-related macular degeneration. Many excellent photographs and diagrams add to a clear understanding.

Although the treatment of retinal diseases remains one of the most challenging fields in ophthalmology, the standard of knowledge has improved substantially over the past few years. The insight into basic mechanisms of disease has been expanded and novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies have been developed, bridging the gap between laboratory and clinical science. Internationally renowned experts present here a comprehensive review of the newest developments, including: - Applications of optical coherence tomography - Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy for fundus autofluorescence imaging - Current and updated recommendations for photodynamic therapy in neovascular AMD - Novel approaches including intravitreal injections of antiangiogenic substances This highly practical and clinically relevant volume will be of great value for all those involved with the treatment of retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.

Recent advances in ophthalmic imaging technology have revolutionized fundus examination and contributed significantly in elucidating the pathophysiology of retinal diseases and improving their diagnosis and treatment. It is therefore fitting that this detailed full-color textbook in the Medical Retina series is devoted to ocular imaging. The volume reviews in detail the role of both established and novel forms of imaging, and is designed to be of benefit to clinicians and researchers alike. All of the chapters have been written by internationally recognized experts at the forefront of their fields. The result is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of retinal imaging that should prove informative and useful for everyone interested in the retina. Topics include: •Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) of macular diseases •Comparison of OCT equipment •Simultaneous SD-OCT and confocal SLO imaging •Ultra-widefield imaging •Autofluorescence imaging •Near-infrared imaging •Macular pigment imaging •Metabolic mapping •Imaging of the choroid •Imaging the vitreous and the vitreoretinal interface with SD-OCT •New developments in OCT technology •Molecular imaging.
