As a degenerative disorder of the eye, keratoconus can cause
substantial distortion of vision, with multiple images, streaking,
and sensitivity to light all reported by patients. Keratoconus:
Recent Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment updates ophthalmologists
about the innovations that have occurred within the last decade,
discussing the diagnostic imaging techniques that have been
developed for keratoconus diagnosis, understanding of how
examination techniques are related to the evolution of keratoconus,
and how to indicate the different therapeutic tools that have been
created for keratoconus over the last several years. Additionally,
fundamentals for new diagnostic elements, based on the
mathematical, physical and biomechanical data are analyzed in depth
for a better understanding of the essential diagnostic steps for
the clinician to guide patients towards the most adequate
therapeutic tool in the case. Modern keratoplasty techniques,
assisted by femtosecond lasers or other devices, are also covered
and these techniques, along with the emerging conservative
treatments, have added to more precise control of the evolution of
the disease.

This comprehensive volume presents data describing the role of
oxidative stress in anterior eye disease. The content is divided
into three logical parts: basic science of the cornea, basic
science of the lens, and clinical practices. The first two parts
include eighteen chapters that discuss topics ranging from
oxidative stress and dry eye disease, endogenous protection of
corneal cells against oxidative damage, the therapeutic potential
of corneal stem cells, etiology of cataracts and preventive
measures, corneal degeneration through oxidative stress and
cataract formation, and function and dysregulation of ion channels
and transporters in the ocular lens, among others. The concluding
part is comprised of four chapters devoted to advancements in
corneal surgery, cataract and diabetic retinopathy, the clinical
treatment of cataracts including traumatic cataracts, and cataracts
in the pediatric age group. Studies on the Cornea and Lens is an
essential addition to the library or department of physicians and
researchers who treat or research these ocular conditions,
particularly cataracts. It is also a key resource for cell
biologists studying oxidative stress. This book is an authoritative
contribution to Springer's Oxidative Stress in Applied Basic
Research and Clinical Practice series.
This comprehensive 2nd edition will build on the highly successful
first edition, providing an updated global perspective of the
fundamentals of multifocal intraocular lenses. The varying
outcomes, limitations, and the neuroadaptation process necessary
for an adequate clinical success are thoroughly discussed, along
with an overview of the different types of multifocal lenses,
including the recently developed extended depth of focus lenses.
Multifocal Intraocular Lenses: The Art and the Practice, 2nd
edition opens with an introduction that will delve into current
technological offerings for the correction of pseudophakic
presbyopia, as well as the opportunity for refractive lens exchange
in advanced presbyopic ages and the opportunity to use these
lenses. The first section will include the historical background
and clinical indications, while section two addresses the varying
types and models of lenses currently available, including important
clinical and technological highlights. Section three and four will
follow, and provide an extended look at the Zeiss and Alcon Family
Multifocal IOL's. Section five will delve into extended depth of
field lenses, and will contain an introduction about the concept,
different models and the evidence available about their outcomes.
Section six concludes the book, closely examining accommodative
intraocular lenses, and a full update will be provided on these
lenses, the failures of the past and the hopes for the future.
Multifocal Intraocular Lenses: The Art and the Practice, 2nd
edition is a thorough, resource for the practical ophthalmologist
and ophthalmic surgeon interested in learning more about
intraocular lenses, identifying the best technologies and lenses
for the benefit of their patients.
Phakic IOLs (intraocular lenses) are surgically implanted lenses
used for the permanent correction of common vision errors such as
myopia (short-sightedness). These implants, which resemble contact
lenses, are placed either between the cornea (the clear lens in
front of the eye) and the iris (the coloured part of the eye), or
just behind the iris. This second edition provides a comprehensive
review of the technology and clinical indication of phakic IOLs,
their contraindications, how to handle surgical complications and
practical issues in their use in refractive surgery. Divided into
two parts, the first section discusses the basic principles of
refractive surgery with phakic IOLs and the second part examines
their implantation including for astigmatism correction, combined
and additive procedures and new trends. Key Points Comprehensive
review of technology and clinical indication of refractive surgery
with phakic IOLs Examines basic principles and implantation
techniques Authored by highly experienced ophthalmic specialists in
Europe and the USA First edition published in 2003
