Clinical Anatomy of the Eye has proved to be a very popular textbook for ophthalmologists and optometrists in training all over the world. The objective of the book is to provide the reader with the basic knowledge of anatomy necessary to practice ophthalmology. It is recognised that this medical speciality requires a detailed knowledge of the eyeball and the surrounding structures. The specialist''s knowledge should include not only gross anatomic features and their development, but also the microscopic anatomy of the eyeball and the ocular appendages. The nerve and blood supply to the orbit, the autonomic innervation of the orbital structures, the visual pathway, and associated visual reflexes should receive great emphasis. The practical application of anatomic facts to ophthalmology has been emphasised throughout this book in the form of Clinical Notes in each chapter. Clinical problems requiring anatomic knowledge for their solution are presented at the end of each chapter. Illustrations are kept simple and overview drawings of the distribution of the cranial and autonomic nerves have been included.

Techniques from the experts for managing the most common problem in eye patients

Here is the ultimate guide to managing the most frequently encountered problem in the eye patient--dry eye disease. Dry Eye Disease: The Clinician''s Guide to Management provides the latest diagnostic techniques, new approaches for classifying patients, and state-of-the-art, evidence-based medical and surgical treatments. The book opens with a review of the epidemiology and the multifactorial etiologies of dry eye disease. The authors guide the reader through taking a thorough patient history, conducting the diagnostic examination, and using clinical tests to make a confident evaluation of the severity of the disease. In their discussion of both medical and surgical techniques for management, the authors describe common treatments, such as punctal plugs, lid treatment, artificial tears, as well as innovative treatments including autologous serum drops, stem cell transplantation, and more.

Highlights:

Contributions from such internationally known experts as Shigeru Kinoshita, M. Reza Dana, Maurizio Rolando, Kazuo Tsubota, Kelly Nichols, Janine Smith, J. Daniel Nelson, Jay S. Pepose, Mark J. Mannis, Friedrich E. Kruse, Teruo Nishida, and others Thorough discussion of new and emerging diagnostic tests, including tear osmolarity, impression cytology, corneal permeability, and visual function, enables readers to expand and sharpen their techniques A bullet-point list of key points at the beginning of each chapter is ideal for rapidly reviewing important concepts Numerous tables organize the results of clinical surveys of common symptoms and factors associated with dry eye disease An extensive list of references, as well as a chapter covering online resources, helps the reader keep abreast of the newest research

This is a timely reference for all ophthalmologists, optometrists, and trainees in these specialties. It is essential reading for practitioners treating contact lens wearers and refractive surgery patients, as well as patients with glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration.

Ocular Surface Disorders draws together current knowledge of the epidemiology, clinical expression, pathophysiology and available medical and surgical therapies to provide a comprehensive text on the diseases of the ocular surface.This highly illustrated text offers guidance on identifying patients most at risk of developing ocular surface disease, assessing their severity, and developing an effective treatment plan. The book opens by covering the basic anatomy and concepts behind disease of the ocular surface, before going to cover individual diseases, techniques and therapies in detail. An authoritative, international team of contributors provides expert insight and guidance.Provides a definitive ‘go-to’ reference for ocular surface specialists, ophthalmologists, optometrists and traineesContains both medical and surgical management techniquesDedicated chapters on specific diseases and treatments

Das "trockene Auge" des Patienten fordert den Augenarzt in den letzten Jahren immer häufiger heraus, auch deshalb, weil das Krankheitsbild zu schwerwiegenden Komplikationen am betroffenen Auge führen kann. In diesem Buch wird erstmals eine umfassende Gesamtdarstellung über diesen Themenbereich gegeben. Dabei wird auf die Ursachen, die Diagnostik und die Therapie sowie die Physiologie und Pathophysiologie der menschlichen Tränenflüssigkeit eingegangen. Damit soll die Unsicherheit, die vielfach herrscht, überwunden werden. Auf eine verständliche, praxisorientierte Darstellung wurde besonderer Wert gelegt. Dem behandelnden Arzt dient es als Wegweiser für das adäquate diagnostische und therapeutische Vorgehen bei diesem Krankheitsbild.

There has been considerable increase in the knowledge concern­ ing tear secretion, the ocular surface, and pathophysiologic con­ ditions leading to the dry eye. Much of this new knowledge is not widely appreciated. Although there have been proceedings of symposia published, there is no currently available book of suf­ ficient scope, yet reasonable length, which ties together aspects of this newly acquired knowledge. This textbook is designed to give the ophthalmic practitioner a comprehensive, yet concise, guide­ line concerning the diagnosis and treatment of the dry eye. We have been able to bring together leading researchers to accom­ plish the same. We wish to express our special thanks to the company Dr. Mann Pharma of Berlin without whose generous sponsorship we could not have completed our task. The sponsor­ ship, in bringing together the authors in planning, preparation, and realization of this text, is gratefully acknowledged. Washington/Ulm, March 1992 M. A. Lemp R.
