Are you considering laser vision correction surgery? PRK, Epi-LASIK, LASIK, Intra-LASIK-how do you know which procedure to choose or whether it will even be safe for you? According to the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, more than 28 million people have undergone laser eye surgery. Though 95 percent of them were satisfied with the outcome, 5 percent experienced complications. In this up-to-date handbook, ophthalmologist and laser vision specialist Ellen Anderson Penno provides consumers with the knowledge they will need to help them make the right decision. Laser Vision Correction: What You Need to Know about LASIK, PRK, Intra-LASIK and Epi-Lasik is a user-friendly guide that shows the pros and cons of the four basic procedures, which includes the side effects and possible complications.

En un viaje por la historia de la ciencia, encontramos en cada etapa de la humanidad y en cada region geografica la evolucion del concepto anatomico y fisiologico del globo ocular. La historia anatomica del globo ocular, es una recopilacion de esquemas, (del dominio publico, revisados y autorizados para su publicacion por la empresa editorial palibrio ) que nos muestra el concepto de los anatomistas, desde la antiguedad hasta nuestros dias. Primero fue el esquema simple, despues el dibujo artistico, mas tarde la tecnica de la microfotografia post mortem, llegando en nuestra epoca al estudio de los tejidos in vivo y dinamico . con equipos de diagnostico y tratamiento de un poder de resolucion que tienen a la micra y al femtosegundo como limite en distancia y en tiempo, con estos instrumentos pronto tendremos nueva informacion, para reconsiderar los conceptos hasta ahora vigentes. In a journey through the history of science, we find in each stage of humankind and in each geographical region, the evolution of the anatomical and physiological concept of the eye globe. The anatomic history of the eye globe is a collection of drawings (of public domain, reviewed and authorized to be published by Palibrio Publishing ) that shows us the concepts of anatomists, from old ages until today. First, it was the simple sketching, then the artistic drawing, later the post mortem micro-photography technique, until we got now the in vivo and dynamic study of tissues. The current diagnostic and treatment equipment with a resolution power that has micron and femtosecond as limits in distance and time, we will soon have new information to reconsider concepts that we believed true until now.

Blindness or serious vision impairment is one of the most feared disabilities known to humankind. A 2016 report compiled by the National Eye Institute (NEI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Prevent Blindness America states that although half of all blindness can be prevented, the number of people who suffer vision loss continues to increase. The technique of dynamic light scattering (DLS) was developed by physicists in the late 1960s to early 1970s. DLS is now emerging as a potential ophthalmic tool, making possible studies of virtually every tissue and fluid comprising the eye, thus pushing the envelope for broader applications in ophthalmology. This book presents a comprehensive review of the application of light scattering in clinical use. It is the first of its kind, offering insight to how DLS can be applied to the human eye as well as animals. Chapters discuss DLS in neurological diseases, including protocols, informed consent, and patents. Dynamic Light Scattering Spectroscopy of the Human Eye is a must-have resource for physicians, engineers, and physicists interested in the clinical application of DLS to diagnose and potentially treat medical conditions in a non-invasive, quantitative and novel way.

For the millions of people with untreatable blindness the thought of a visual prosthesis that would allow them to live a normal life has always been a distant hope. There have been intermittent bright spots that periodically fan that hope such as when Dr. Dobelle's visual prosthesis patient drove a car in an empty parking lot. This book will serve as an update of the work in developing a visual prosthesis. Chapters discuss the physiologic and engineering issues, alternative strategies, and patents, as well as recent research studies. Visual Prosthesis - A Concise Guide is a must-have resource for ophthalmologists, neurologists, engineers and physicists.

This presentation describes the unique anatomy and physiology of the vascular beds that serve the eye. The needs for an unobstructed light path from the cornea to the retina and a relatively fixed corneal curvature and distance between refractive structures pose significant challenges for the vasculature to provide nutrients and remove metabolic waste. To meet these needs, the ocular vascular beds are confined to the periphery of the posterior two thirds of the eye and a surrogate circulation provides a continuous flow of aqueous humor to nourish the avascular cornea, lens and vitreous compartment. The production of aqueous humor (and its ease of egress from the eye) also generates the intraocular pressure (IOP), which maintains the shape of the eye. However, the IOP also exerts a compressing force on the ocular blood vessels that is higher than elsewhere in the body. This is particularly true for the intraocular veins, which must have a pressure higher than IOP to remain patent, and so the IOP is the effective venous pressure for the intraocular vascular beds. Consequently, the ocular circulation operates at a lower perfusion pressure gradient than elsewhere in the body and is more at risk for ischemic damage when faced with low arterial pressure, particularly if IOP is elevated. This risk and the specialized tissues of the eye give rise to the fascinating physiology of the ocular circulations.

Dr. Brelvi, a SUNY: Optometry graduate and an 18-year veteran of Clinical Optometry, throws down the gauntlet to the next generation of Vision Therapy clinicians, not only in the US but also around the world. He challenges them to adopt a much-needed optometric model in the Cognitive Neurosciences, in order to effectively address the burgeoning fields of Autism, various Neurological Dysfunctions and Learning Disabilities. According to Dr. Brelvi, the frontiers of scientific discovery are defined as much by the tools available for clinical observation and monitoring as by conceptual innovation. Optometrists or Optometric physicians have historically studied the visual system in toto to understand the subtle nuances associated with a spectrum of learning disabilities. Dr. Brelvi feels that the time is now ripe for Optometry to broaden its scientific horizons and venture into the Cognitive realm of neurological dysfunctions. By introducing the new discipline of Cognitive Optometry, Dr. Brelvi envisions fellow clinicians to recognize the key role played by the visual system in the complex process of cognition, which gives rise to the gift of sentience in modern Homo sapiens. In his view, what marks Cognitive Optometry as an emerging discipline in the Neuro-Clinical Sciences is the study of anomalous mental activity as a visual information-processing problem. It rests on the premise that our perceptions, thoughts and social behavior depend on the ability of the visual system to evaluate and collate sensory information correctly. Perceptual representations taking place in various regions of the brain need to be translated into successful goal-oriented behavior in afflicted patients tohelp lead more productive and rewarding lifestyles.
