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.

Optical Coherence Tomography A Clinical Atlas of Retinal Images By Darrin A. Landry, CRA OCT-C Overview Optical Coherence Tomography, A Clinical Atlas of Retinal Images is a richly illustrated and comprehensive guide to identifying anatomy and pathology of retinal disease as illustrated on OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography). Pertinent tips to acquiring quality images are outlined with both Spectral Domain and Time Domain for disease pathology, with multiple examples of common retinal disease images. Since the advent of OCT, the landscape of clinical ophthalmic and optometric practice has been drastically altered. Armed with the ability to image multiple retinal layers, it has become more important for the imaging technician, as well as the clinical practitioner, to be able to identify not only retinal pathology, but retinal anatomy as well. As important is the knowledge to differentiate pathology from artifact, and to provide quality, consistent OCT images. Over 300 examples of retinal disease pathology are illustrated in this full color book to assist the imager in identifying retinal disease, how it presents on OCT and to descriptively interpret OCT images. A well regarded teacher and lecturer in the field of ophthalmic imaging for the past 20 years, and the author of Retinal Imaging Simplified, Darrin Landry provides a clear and concise format for the imager and clinical practitioner to descriptively interpret OCT images. In a textbook that is an invaluable source for both imagers and clinical practitioners and ideal for the beginner and the advanced retinal imager, Optical Coherence Tomography A Clinical Atlas of Retinal Image provides valuable resources in the application of OCT, and assists the imager in providing consistent quality clinical OCT images.

This one-of-a-kind text focuses on the uses of the Fugo blade, a battery powered, portable electrosurgical unit that produces a cool, thin plasma cloud that coats a blunt cutting filament. When activated, the plasma cuts sharper than a diamond blade by "ablation" of tissue similar to the action of a laser. This is a novel, evolving technology that has been called the "first improvement in incision since the introduction of the laser". The unit is FDA approved for cataract, glaucoma, iridotomy as well as dental surgery. This is the first time that the FDA has approved surgeons to drain glaucoma fluid from behind the iris, which simplifies the procedure and decreases complications. Over two dozen other uses of the Fugo blade have been identified in ophthalmology. Ocular Applications of the Fugo Blade describes and illustrates over 40 innovative procedures using this technology. Each section focuses on an anatomic area and details disorders that are treated with the use of the Fugo blade. Clear photographs, illustrations, and text explain the authors' approach to the surgical problems. Ophthalmologists with interest in cataract, glaucoma, refractive surgery, presbyopia reversal surgery, strabismus muscle surgery, DCR surgery, dry eye syndrome, soft tissue and plastic surgery, and retinal surgery as well as plastic surgeons and neurosurgeons will benefit from Ocular Applications of the Fugo Blade.

The exciting adventures of one dedicated physician as she traveled throughout Latin America and Asia, restoring vision to thousands who would otherwise remain blind

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.
