Pearls in Glaucoma Surgery discusses the treatment of glaucoma. Beginning with an introduction to the disease, ophthalmologists are guided through the various tests and use of optical coherence tomography (OCT), glaucoma diagnosis (GDx) and Heidelberg retina tomography (HRT). The book describes different treatment methods and when and how to use them, also taking into account other medical conditions such as pregnancy.

Manual of Glaucoma is a comprehensive reference guide to the basics, diagnosis and new surgical possibilities for the treatment of glaucoma.This book is divided into 44 chapters across six sections covering fundamentals, diagnosis, open angle glaucoma, angle closure glaucoma, childhood glaucoma, and a final section on new techniques for managing glaucoma. Beginning with the anatomy of the optic nerve head, and the pathophysiology and classification of glaucoma, subsequent chapters cover methods of diagnosis such as Gonioscopy and OCT, variations of glaucoma such as pigmentary glaucoma and malignant glaucoma, and congenital and developmental glaucoma in children.Manual of Glaucoma also includes a separate chapter on complementary and alternative therapies, as well as new surgical modalities, wound healing techniques and postoperative care. Enhanced by 236 full colour images and illustrations, Manual of Glaucoma is an essential source of reference for ophthalmologists and ophthalmology residents.Key PointsComprehensive reference guide to the basics, diagnosis and new surgical possibilities for the management of glaucomaIncludes the newest surgical modalities for the treatment of glaucoma236 full colour images and illustrations

Glaucoma is a condition of the eye in which the optic nerve is damaged due to increased fluid pressure in the eye. Left untreated, the condition may lead to permanent blindness.Presented as a collection of clinical case studies, this book is a complete guide to the treatment of glaucoma for both ophthalmologists and trainees.Beginning with an introduction to ocular hypertension, investigation techniques and the diagnosis of glaucoma, the following chapters describe different treatment methods. Potential surgical complications are discussed in detail to help clinicians determine the most appropriate management options. The final section covers clinical trials in glaucoma.Clinical photographs, flow charts and algorithms for patient management enhance learning.Key PointsComprehensive guide to diagnosis and treatment of glaucomaPresented as collection of clinical case studiesIn depth discussion on surgical complicationsIncludes photographs, flow charts and algorithms to assist learning

This book provides information on how to extract the most from mobile applications and easily adapt and integrate them into daily practice. Today mobile applications that can optimize patient flow, help in examinations, perform anterior/posterior segment imaging, offer differential diagnosis and therapeutic options and even serve as patient drug reminders and councilors are easily available. Most of them have been developed by individuals and as a result lack marketing, even though they are free to download and use.Ophthalmology has always been at the forefront of medicine when it comes to adopting the latest developments — be they lasers, off-labelanti-VEGF drugs or biocompatible implants. Mobile phones and tablets have infiltrated our private and professional lives and they are here to stay. As such, this book explores the endless possibilities that mobile computing offers, and introduces the vista of opportunities for providing better care, one download at a time.As part of the series “Current Practices in Ophthalmology” this volume is intended for residents and fellows in-training, as well as general and specialist ophthalmologists.

The book provides a detailed description in color format of the optic nerve head changes that occur in glaucoma. It explains the normal and variant anatomy of an optic nerve head and why certain discs are more or less likely to develop glaucomatous changes.This book attempts to explain the anatomical basis of common and not so common signs seen in optic nerve head and retinal nerve fibre layer as captured by a digital fundus imaging system and optical coherence tomography. It also includes optic nerve head conditions mimicking glaucoma. The book is relevant for practicing ophthalmologists, vision science researchers, clinical optometrists, postgraduate residents in ophthalmology, sub-specialty fellows as well as general ophthalmologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons.
