Retinal disease in general, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) specifically, is of major interest worldwide due to the increasing aging population and the revolution in management of wet AMD over the past several years. Age-Related Macular Degeneration presents an up-to-date, clinically relevant monograph on the current diagnosis and management of AMD.Age-Related Macular Degeneration by Drs. Jay S. Duker and Andre J. Witkin serves as a reference for ophthalmologists treating AMD in the clinic as well as other eye care professionals who see and counsel patients with AMD. Chapters will focus on the pathogenesis and risk factors for AMD, the diagnosis of AMD, treatment options, and promising investigative interventions. To help readers gain familiarity recognizing AMD, the book contains multiple images in different formats: high quality color fundus photographs, black-and-white angiograms, black-and-white autofluorence images, and both color and black-and-white OCT images.Relevant to current management of AMD, Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Current Management concentrates on “clinical utility” rather than emphasizing published studies, filling the current void in the market for the general ophthalmology and optometry audience. Comprehensive ophthalmologists, optometrists and retinal specialists will appreciate the book’s practical approach to AMD.

Optical coherence tomography has become a part of clinical routine in everyday eye practice, allowing objective, quantitative structural assessment and driving clinical decision making in retinal diseases, glaucoma and cataract surgery. To guide the eyecare professionals who rely on this technology, Everyday OCT: A Handbook for Clinicians and Technicians, Second Edition is a user-friendly, practical reference that provides all of the information they need to know about current OCT technologies and their clinical utilities.Drs. Joel S. Schuman, Carmen A. Puliafito, James G. Fujimoto, and Jay S. Duker represent the cutting edge of OCT applications and, together with their expert contributing authors, they have created a clear and concise guide designed to provide clinicians and technicians with the knowledge and tips to best utilize OCT technology.This Second Edition is split into three parts: an operational guide with in-depth guidance and tips on the six major OCT devices from six different manufacturers, an interpretation guide featuring all the major pathologies OCT can visualize, and a technical guide containing detailed technical aspects of the SD-OCT and the future of OCT technologies.Everyday OCT, Second Edition explains how to:Set up and employ OCT technologySelect and facilitate scansEnsure and assess the quality of scansAccurately interpret OCT imagesEveryday OCT: A Handbook for Clinicians and Technicians, Second Edition covers the diversity of new devices and applications in the field of OCT in a succinct and easy-to-read format, making it the ideal resource for clinicians and technicians to have by their side when performing or interpreting OCTs.

The introduction of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents has revolutionized therapy for a host of ocular diseases associated with leakage from normal blood vessels and pathologic blood vessel growth. Anti-VEGF Use in Ophthalmology is an all-inclusive reference designed to provide detailed, up-to-date, and clinically relevant information on the current use of anti-VEGF agents in the treatment of all ocular conditions.Drs. Jay S. Duker and Michelle C. Liang have assembled a prestigious group of contributors who pool their collective expertise in this comprehensive book. Anti-VEGF Use in Ophthalmology is split into two sections with the first providing the history of VEGF and an overview of anti-VEGF agents and different routes of drug delivery, as it is important for eye care providers to be familiar with up-to-date aspects of the medications and indications for use.The second section details the clinical uses of anti-VEGF agents in numerous ocular diseases, from the anterior segment including cornea and glaucoma to uveitis and various retinal and choroidal diseases. Each chapter in this section summarizes the disease process and utilizes high-quality ocular imaging to demonstrate the therapeutic use of the anti-VEGF agents.Some of the topics covered in Anti-VEGF Use in Ophthalmology:Neovascular Age-Related Macular DegenerationProliferative Diabetic RetinopathyRetinal Vein OcclusionUveitisNeovascular GlaucomaMacular EdemaRetinopathy of PrematurityCorneal DiseaseAnti-VEGF Use in Ophthalmology combines the theory and applications of anti-VEGF agents, making it not only a great learning tool for beginners but also a useful reference tool for a wide range of eye care professionals including optometrists, residents, comprehensive ophthalmologists, as well as specialists in anterior segment, pediatrics, and vitreoretinal disease.

The most comprehensive text and definitive guide for nearly 30 years about optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging in ophthalmology, Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases, Fourth Edition covers a range of subjects, from principles and operation techniques to clinical interpretation and the latest innovations in OCT. Written by the pioneers of OCT technologies and the world-renowned OCT researchers Drs. Joel S. Schuman, James G. Fujimoto, Jay S. Duker, Hiroshi Ishikawa, and Gadi Wollstein, Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases, Fourth Edition is an essential text for imaging technology.OCT now occupies a dominant role as a diagnostic tool for retinal conditions and glaucoma. At the same time, the technology continues to show potential for emerging clinical and research applications across all the ophthalmological subspecialties. To reflect these rapid advances, this new edition of Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases features a complete and thorough revision of the existing text as well as the addition of cutting-edge content to bring this classic resource completely up to date.New content in the Fourth Edition includes:• OCT angiography• Swept-source OCT• OCT in multimodal imaging• Clinical utility of OCT in glaucoma prediction and progression detection • OCT for neuro-ophthalmology Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Diseases, Fourth Edition is the one and only book needed by practitioners who use OCT for clinical eye care.
