Based on the ICD-9-CM classification system, this presentation by Boruchoff (ophthalmology, Boston U.) comprises more than 400 color pictoral images of anterior segment disease, and succinct accompanying text. He groups related diseases on the basis of the most prominent common feature, and provides tables of differential diagnosis to help practitioners diagnose more accurately. Among the conditions he examines are disorders of the globe and of the iris and ciliary body, cataract, keratitis, corneal opacity and other disorders of the cornea, disorders of the conjunctiva, inflammation of the eyelids, disorders of the lacrimal system, orbit, and ocular tumors.

High-speed anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers a non-contact method for high resolution cross-sectional and three-dimensional imaging of the cornea and the anterior segment of the eye. As the first text completely devoted to this topic, Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography comprehensively explains both the scientific principles and the clinical applications of this exciting and advancing technology. Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography enhances surgical planning and postoperative care for a variety of anterior segment applications by expertly explaining how abnormalities in the anterior chamber angle, cornea, iris, and lens can be identified and evaluated using the Visante OCT(TM). Inside Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography, Dr. Roger Steinert and Dr. David Huang, along with 22 of the field's leading professionals, provide a wealth of useful clinical and physiological material about this new diagnostic imaging technique. Valuable images are included to assist in the pre- and postoperative assessment of various anterior segment disorders. Additionally, this unique resource contains detailed information on biometric measurements to enhance diagnostic capability. On the leading edge of anterior segment imaging: - Mapping of corneal thickness and keratoconus evaluation - Measurement of LASIK flap and stromal bed thickness - Visualization and measurement of anterior chamber angle and diagnosis of narrow angle glaucoma - Measuring the dimensions of the anterior chamber and assessing the fit of intraocular lens implants - Visualizing and measuring the results of corneal implants and lamellar procedures - Imaging through corneal opacity to see internal eye structures With the increase in popularity of anterior chamber imaging, and anterior segment OCT proving to be the best tool for high resolution biometry, Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography is a must-have for anterior segment, refractive, cornea, and glaucoma surgeons.
This book is new, comprehensive and clinically relevant with in-depth focus on anterior segment diseases. It concentrates on the vital areas of the eye surface abnormalities including pathology of tear film, diseases of conjunctiva, eyelids, cornea and sclera, developmental abnormalities and tumors. The majority of the book chapters follow the template including: introduction; clinical signs and symptoms; investigations; differential diagnosis; general principles of treatment and prognosis. This volume deals with all types of anterior segment diseases especially congenital and developmental anomalies, tear film disorders (dry eye), various conjunctival and corneal diseases (infectious, inflammatory, neoplastic, degenerative and trauma), sclera and episclera, iris and ciliary body and finally keratoplasty in a comprehensive manner.
This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of the application of the newest laser and microscope/ophthalmoscope technology in the field of high resolution imaging in microscopy and ophthalmology. Starting by describing High-Resolution 3D Light Microscopy with STED and RESOLFT, the book goes on to cover retinal and anterior segment imaging and image-guided treatment and also discusses the development of adaptive optics in vision science and ophthalmology. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the reader will learn about the latest developments and most up to date technology in the field and how these translate to a medical setting. High Resolution Imaging in Microscopy and Ophthalmology – New Frontiers in Biomedical Optics has been written by leading experts in the field and offers insights on engineering, biology, and medicine, thus being a valuable addition for scientists, engineers, and clinicians with technical and medical interest who would like to understand the equipment, the applications and the medical/biological background. Lastly, this book is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Gerhard Zinser, co-founder of Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, a scientist, a husband, a brother, a colleague, and a friend.
