This book provides trainees in ophthalmology with a complete guide
to oculoplasty. Divided into seven sections, the text covers orbit,
eyelid, lacrimal system, and ocular tumours. Each topic is
explained in a step by step approach describing anatomy,
physiology, examination techniques, and surgical techniques. The
final sections include histopathology slides, discussion on
surgical instruments and suture materials, and a question bank to
assist revision. More than 450 images and illustrations further
enhance the comprehensive text.
Some of the best clinical teaching happens during grand rounds,
imaging conferences and the discussion of individual cases, but for
ophthalmologists working in smaller centers, such opportunities can
be infrequent. Handbook of Retinal Disease offers the benefit of a
case discussion by describing retinal disorders through real-life
examples, from a presenting problem through the differential
diagnosis, an analysis of the imaging and other diagnostic results,
to an outline treatment plan. The book features over 75 cases, each
presented with a table of signs and symptoms to help with the
differential diagnosis, questions to ask the patient and relevant
imaging to order. Secondly, imaging results from relevant
modalities are discussed, before a final diagnosis is put forward.
The authors provide concise information on the diagnosis, including
an outline of recommended treatments, follow-up and further
reading. With its high quality images and highly structured,
deductive approach, Handbook of Retinal Disease provides a
clinically relevant guide to the latest imaging techniques used in
the diagnosis of retinal diseases: OCT, colour and red fundus
photography, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography and
fundus autofluorescence. Key Points Each case gives a structure for
working up a differential diagnosis and treatment plan based on a
challenging set of signs and symptoms Shows imaging results drawn
from the full array of relevant, current imaging modalities
Provides treatment plans tailored to each patient and reflecting
the complex nature of some cases

Perimetry is the systematic measurement of visual field function.
It is primarily used in the diagnosis of glaucoma, but also for
retinal diseases and neuro-ophthalmic disorders. This book is a
practical guide to the use of perimetry in the diagnosis of eye
disorders. Divided into three sections, the book begins with an
overview of the technique, describing the normal visual field and
choice of perimeters. The following section provides detail on the
diagnostic uses of perimetry, as well as clinical case studies. The
third section examines special situations, with the final chapters
providing commentary on recent advances in perimetry, care and
maintenance of perimeters, and the history of perimetry. Key Points
Practical guide to use of perimetry in the diagnosis of eye
diseases and disorders Includes clinical case studies Provides
commentary on recent advances, care and maintenance of perimeters
and history of the technique Enhanced by clinical photographs and
illustrations
Vision and the Visual System offers students, teachers, and
researchers a rigorous, yet accessible account of how the brain
analyzes the visual scene. Schiller and Tehovnik describe key
aspects of visual perception while explaining the relationship
between eye movements and the neural structures in the brain, which
play a central role in how we process visual information. The book
discusses various brain areas involved in processing information,
focusing on the evolutionary origins and mechanics behind the
several parallel pathways that compose the visual system. Later
chapters explain how the nervous system processes the perception of
color, motion, depth, and patterns. A variety of illusions are on
display in Chapter 14, where the authors provide detailed
explanations that deconstruct how the visual system operates to
create them. The volume concludes with a discussion of recent
attempts to build visual prosthetic devices for blind individuals,
of which there are more than 40 million in the world. Vision and
the Visual System is based on Professor Schiller's more than 40
years of experience teaching vision courses at MIT, and is tailored
especially for college undergraduates and graduate students
interested in visual perception and the operations of the visual
system.
This book provides a concise guide to learning the art of
refraction and its principles applicable to retinoscopy. It also
provides a well-signposted pathway to success in the Royal College
of Ophthalmologists' Refraction Certificate Examination.

This biography of the eye surgeon Arthur Ferguson MacCallan is an
insightful perspective on the life and work of the exceptional
medical and ophthalmic pioneer. In 1903, Arthur MacCallan accepted
a position in Egypt to establish the country's first travelling
ophthalmic hospital, funded by the British philanthropist Sir
Ernest Cassel. Over the next two decades, Arthur established an
extensive network of over twenty ophthalmic hospitals which
attended to over 1.5 million patients and performed over 76,000
operations. He also founded the Memorial Ophthalmic Laboratory at
Giza which continues to play a pivotal role in ophthalmic care
today. Arthur was a world authority on trachoma, and the MacCallan
Classification, developed in 1905, was adopted by the World Health
Organisation as its standard in 1952. This is still recognised
today as a major contribution in the fight against trachoma. Set
against the backdrop of political unrest, world war, and the
rapidly changing relationship between Britain and Egypt during the
momentous years of the early 1900s, Arthur's grandson Michael tells
his fascinating story, brought to life through original letters,
documents, colourful anecdotes and 160 photographs. Lord Cromer,
British Consul General, Egypt (1883-1907) said "I regard the
campaign against ophthalmia as one of the most important and useful
works undertaken in Egypt."

Dry eye is one of the most common ocular diseases. With the wide
use of consumer electronics, environmental pollution and aging
population, it has been prevalent and has seen a rising trend
globally. Symptoms of dry eye affect daily activities and quality
of life. This book details and illustrates popular medical science
knowledge about dry eye. The cartoonist also shares her own
treatment process. Various questions and doubts raised by dry eye
patients and the effective therapy and treatment are well
explained. The book provides a good resource for readers to acquire
in-depth knowledge on causes and hazards brought about by dry eye
as well as how to prevent its occurrence.
Advanced techniques in eye care has significantly influenced how
diseases and conditions are treated and diagnosed. While many
strides have been made, there is still continuous research in the
ophthalmology field. Ophthalmology: Breakthroughs in Research and
Practice is an innovative reference source for the latest academic
material on the identification, treatment, and management
methodologies of eye diseases and disorders. Highlighting a range
of topics, such as retinal prosthesis, ocular diseases, and
ophthalmoscopy, this publication is ideally designed for
researchers, graduate-level students, and professionals in the
medical field.
