The iris is a circular, pigmented tissue that separates the anterior chamber of the eye from the posterior chamber. It has a crucial role on controlling the amount of the light entering the eye through its central opening “the pupil". The Iris has multiple important functions that support and provide image clarity on the retina. However, it is a largely neglected part of the eye, compared to the cornea lens, retina, and optic nerve, and has not been focused on in a comprehensive way until now. The Iris: Understanding the Essentials, combines different aspects of scientific information from a variety of fields, such as anatomy, histopathology, molecular biology, electron microscopy and other diagnostic modalities. Each chapter will include pearls and summary points, and this multi-disciplinary approach helps the clinician diagnose and treat the large variety of diseases that affect the iris, with the main emphasize on pigmentary pathological changes that can affect the color of the eye. Written as a reference review book for universities, practicing ophthalmologists, Ophthalmology residents, pharmaceutical companies and diagnostic equipment manufacturing companies this book summarizes the information in an easy-to-use manner to help the reader better understand the iris, iris structure, physiology and function.

This book examines the existing modalities of changing the color of the eye with their limitations. There has been no possible way to change the color of the eye with the “natural looking” result as of today. There have been many years of research and trials due to the immense public desire to be able to change the color of their eyes without success. From topical eye drops and colored contact lenses, to the more aggressive treatments such as laser ablation, corneal tattooing, or even iris implants, all have been tried and failed to achieve a “natural looking” result. This book explains the reason for the failure of each of these approaches without bias and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each of these modalities. The book will cover the need for new approaches and new equipment and instruments that are necessary to achieve the goal of being able to modify the color of the eye to “look natural”. Chapters will also explore the scientific theoretical possibilities of achieving the task of eye color modification, in hope that future researchers have a blueprint for their studies and experiments to overcome this very difficult task.

As we enter the quantum era, new research on applying the rules of quantum physics to biology, which was previously considered impossible, has revolutionized our understanding and our concept of molecular and atomic particles behavior and their interactions. This book is the first comprehensive review of the quantum biology of the visual system. Chapters discuss the relevance of quantum physics to the biological systems, especially in the visual system. The main purpose of this book is to simplify quantum biology concepts relevant to physiology of human eye and to help the reader understand the essentials of this new emerging, complex and anti-intuitive field of science. It offers a contemporary view of the emerging interplay between the biochemistry, physiology, molecular biology, and molecular and atomic particle quantum characteristics such as vibration, spin etc. Quantum Biology of the Eye is an essential resource for Ophthalmologists, physicians, residents, fellows, all fields of visual science and medical students in ophthalmology, and other converging fields of science such as visual optics biochemists, psychology etc.
