Gems of Ophthalmology: Retina

Description

Part of the new series Gems of Ophthalmology, this book provides the latest information in the diagnosis and management of retinal diseases and disorders.

Beginning with an overview of diagnostic imaging techniques – ophthalmoscopy, angiography, fundus autofluorescence, and choroidal imaging, the next chapters discuss retinal disorders related to diabetes.

The following sections discuss numerous disorders such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy, macular degeneration, macular holes, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, and much more.

The final sections cover surgical management of retinal problems including giant retinal tears, retinoblastoma, cysts, retinal detachment, and microincision vitreoretinal surgery.

This comprehensive text is further enhanced by clinical and surgical photographs, diagrams and tables.

Other topics in the series include: Cornea & Sclera, Diseases of the Uvea, Glaucoma, and Cataract Surgery.
