Bacterial eye infections are among the leading causes of vision
loss and ocular morbidity, yet the widespread use of antibiotics,
particularly in combating systemic infections, has led to increased
resistance. This book describes studies that have reported
resistance to fourth-generation fluoroquinolones used for treating
ocular infections. Achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes, which
will require new antimicrobial agents with less potential for
promoting resistance is also discussed. This book explores
endophthalmitis as an intraocular inflammation mainly involving the
ocular fluids. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is also reviewed, which is a
major opportunistic pathogen and a common cause of bacterial
keratitis, especially in contact lens wearers. The new classes of
antibiotics have offered alternatives to treat this otherwise
antibiotic-resistant bacteria but reports of continued resistance
indicate the need for novel areas such as the use of immunisations
with attenuated strains of bacteria and treatment with
non-antibiotic compounds. Myopia is the most common eyesight
problem in the world and is often mild and there are no serious
problems. However, it may sometimes lead to blindness. This book
explores laser as a way to correct myopia as well as a study of
myopia.Finally, this book includes two approaches to resolve myopic
macular retinoschisis; one is an approach from inside the eye and
the other is from outside the eye. An investigation of eyes for
corneal, refractional, and biometric changes, which resulted in the
conclusion that there is a statistically significant myopic shift
after scleral buckling surgery, is evaluated.
