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.

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.Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye (geteyesmart.org). OCT is commonly used in the evaluation of patients with glaucoma.This manual is a concise guide to the use of OCT for the diagnosis of glaucoma. Beginning with an introduction to OCT, the book then provides in depth discussion on its use in glaucoma. Each of the following chapters describes the use of OCT for analysing associated parts of the eye, including the optic nerve, retinal nerve and ganglion cell, as well as macular and anterior segment OCT.The advantages and common pitfalls in OCT imaging and its interpretation are discussed at length.Key pointsConcise guide to OCT for diagnosis and evaluation of glaucomaExplains use of OCT for analysis of associated parts of the eyeIn depth discussion of advantages and common pitfalls in OCT imagingIncludes more than 115 images and illustrations

This book is a complete guide to glaucoma surgery for practising ophthalmic surgeons and trainees. Divided into eight sections, it begins with discussion on preoperative evaluation and an overview of surgical techniques.The following sections describe different procedures including lasers, trabeculectomy, nonpenetrating procedures, drainage devices and surgery for paediatric glaucoma.Written by highly experienced experts on behalf of the International Society of Glaucoma Surgery (ISGS), the authors have done extensive research to cover the most current frontiers and controversies in both traditional and new techniques.The book includes more than 600 clinical photographs, diagrams and tables and the accompanying interactive DVD ROMs demonstrate surgical procedures.Key pointsComplete guide to glaucoma surgery for ophthalmic surgeons and traineesFully up to date with latest advances and controversies in traditional and new techniquesWritten on behalf of the International Society of Glaucoma Surgery (ISGS)Includes DVD ROMs demonstrating surgical procedures

Procedures range from anterior insertion of the iris onto trabecular meshwork and indentation gonioscopy, to pseudoexfoliation and the use of fibreoptic illuminator in Schlemm’s Canal.26 self-assessment quiz videos enhance Gonioscopy – A Video Assisted Skill Transfer Approach, making it ideal for ophthalmologists, residents and fellows to evaluate their own knowledge and refine new surgical skills.Key PointsVideo resource providing instruction on a broad range of ophthalmological surgical procedures111 videos divided into five sections cover gonioscopy techniques in detail26 self-assessment quiz videos

Gonioscopy is an eye examination to look at the front part of the eye (anterior chamber), between the cornea and the iris. It is a painless procedure to see whether the area where fluid drains out of the eye is open or closed. Gonioscopy is important in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma, an eye disease that damages the optic nerve and may result in blindness.The new edition of this text and atlas is a step by step guide to train ophthalmologists in the principles, indications, and techniques for performing gonioscopy, whilst highlighting various goniopathologies encountered in different congenital and acquired conditions.The text begins with the history, principles and indications of gonioscopy, with the following chapters providing an overview of different techniques.The book features various gonioscopy grading systems including Shaffer’s System, Spaeth System, Scheie System, RPC Classification, Becker System, and Shaffer-Kanski System.The second edition features more than 600 goniophotographs illustrating different conditions discussed in the text, as well as self-assessment questions at the end of the book.Key pointsStep by step guide to gonioscopy covering many different techniquesFeatures more than 600 goniophotographsIncludes self-assessment questionsPrevious edition (9789350904343) published in 2013
