Basic Sciences in Ophthalmology aims to link clinical ophthalmology
directly to its basic science roots. This first volume describes
the physics and chemistry required for a sound understanding of
modern ophthalmology. The book opens with an extensive discussion
of the interaction of light with matter and the way in which light
is used in ophthalmic examinations and treatments. After describing
traditional methods of imaging, particular emphasis is placed on
modern instrumentation such as OCT. The interaction between light
and tissues in different types of laser treatment is also
addressed. The chemistry section focuses on compounds particularly
relevant to the eye, such as oxygen and water. The origin and
consequences of oxidative stress are reviewed, and the physical
behavior of chemical compounds in the eye is explained.
Understanding is facilitated through the use of many examples taken
from the field of ophthalmology. The text is complemented by about
450 figures.
