Abstract

This is the second edition of a highly successful textbook that in many areas has become the preferred manual of vitreoretinal surgery. It provides a complete guide to all common vitreoretinal surgical procedures and also covers diagnosis and other aspects of management. Because it is a single-author publication, there is minimal duplication in the text, avoiding the confusion and overlap characteristic of multiauthor publications. The book is designed to allow a trainee or professional vitreoretinal surgeon to determine the best methodology in individual cases. In order to acquaint the reader with different opinions, “surgical pearls” have been contributed by other international experts in vitreoretinal surgery. These have been welcomed in the past as an illustration of alternative methods, without detracting from the overall method described by the main author. Vitreoretinal Surgery will continue to prove particularly popular amongst trainees, but will also be of value to practicing professionals who need help in the management of difficult and rare cases. The text is backed up by the provision of videos that illustrate some aspects of the surgery.

Abstract

The hereditary retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which affects 1 in 3,500 people worldwide, is the most common cause of registered visual handicap among those of the working age in developed countries. RP is a highly variable disorder where patients may develop symptomatic visual loss in early childhood, while others may remain asymptomatic until mid-adulthood. Most cases of RP segregate in autosomal dominant, recessive or X-linked recessive modes, with approximately 41 genes being implicated in disease pathology to date (RetNet). The extensive genetic heterogeneity associated with autosomal dominant RP (adRP) is an undisputed hindrance to the development of genetically based therapeutics.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Pediatric ophthalmology is a unique subspecialty embracing all ocular anatomy and visual function. Within this discipline, the area representing the most diverse and challenging pathophysiology is pediatric retina. A sound grasp of the depth and range of pediatric retinal disorders – from tumors to infections, from retinopathy of prematurity to inherited disorders, from abuse to uveitis – is critical to effective care. This book provides a thorough, in-depth education for both the novice and the sophisticated practitioner. It is also designed to be a ready companion to the busy clinician on a daily basis. The diverse topics are discussed by one or more authors who bring special expertise to the subject. They may be pediatric or retina specialists, but their common denominator is that they know their subject intimately and apply that wealth of knowledge to their patients. From complex retinal physiology to disease diagnosis and management, their aim has been to impart the esoteric and the exceptional in a fashion that is practical and accessible. The editors’ goal has been to make this an invaluable resource: the first book you will recommend to residents or turn to yourself to enhance care of the pediatric retina patient.
