Recent Advances in Ophthalmology Volume 12

Description

Recent Advances in Ophthalmology 12 is the latest volume of this collection of reviews of the most recent developments in the field of ophthalmology.

The book consists of sixteen chapters. Recent advances covered include the use of femtosecond laser in cataract surgery, the diagnosis and management of ocular AIDS, chapters on enhanced depth imaging technology OCT, and the use of intravitreal avastin.

Other topics include the present status of phakic IOLs, the future of LASIK (refractive surgery for the treatment of myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism), and the latest developments in the treatment of glaucoma.

This comprehensive update of ophthalmology topics, with over 100 full colour images and illustrations, is an essential resource for postgraduates and residents in ophthalmology, ophthalmic practitioners and ophthalmic consultants.
