Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine in Ophthalmology, 3rd Edition, is thoroughly revised and expanded, including five more chapters than the previous edition.The book is divided into five parts, with each providing significant updates on topics including interactions between biomaterials and the ocular surface, strategies for corneal tissue reconstruction, keratoprotheses, strategies for retinal tissue construction, biomaterials for ocular drug delivery, implants for treating glaucoma, implants for monitoring intraocular pressure, intraocular lenses, vitreal substitutes, retinal prostheses, and orbital implants.Beginning with the ocular surface, the book progressively moves deeper into the eye as it explores the use of biomaterials, when either applied alone or in conjunction with living cells, as a means of restoring structure and/or function to ocular tissues. Notably, some chapters cover the essential background to understanding interactions between biomaterials and ocular cells and tissues, while others provide case studies of research translation from the laboratory bench to the clinic and subsequent commercialization.Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine in Ophthalmology, 3rd Edition, is therefore a valuable source of information for all postgraduate students, academics, clinicians, and industry-based researchers who are seeking a deeper understanding of the issues relating to the application of biomaterials and regenerative medicine in ophthalmology.Fully revised to provide readers with the latest updates on strategies for usingbiomaterials in strategies for ocular tissue reconstruction and the management ofocular disorders.Carefully structured to provide readers with essential foundational knowledge relatingto the potential impact of biomaterials on ocular tissue structure and function.Includes case studies of research translation from the laboratory bench to the clinic.
