Volume 2 of this edited book covers management of complex situations and complications. Topics such as combined surgeries, EK in complex situations, management of complications, graft management, and RHO-associated kinase (Rock) inhibitors have been covered as well. Basics and various surgical techniques have been covered in Volume 1 of Mastering Endothelial Keratoplasty. Endothelial keratoplasty is a field of great interest to all corneal surgeons. It is an exciting and evolving field in corneal transplantation as the newer techniques of DSAEK, DMEK, E-DMEK and PDEK have inherent advantages that make them supersede the older techniques by far. Hence, in today's scenario with the clearly superior results that these techniques offer, it is imperative for all corneal surgeons to learn them and know everything about managing the patient from the pre-operative to the postoperative period. This two-volume book is a must-read for the beginner as well as the established ophthalmologist with interest in corneal transplantation. It is also a must-have for educational institutions, hospital- based libraries and for post-graduate students, fellows and residents who want to expand their knowledge.

Corneal transplantation is a widely practised surgical procedure. Lamellar techniques are favoured replacing penetrating keratoplasty (PK). Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) has been adapted as an alternative in the treatment of corneal endothelial disorders whereby Descemet’s membrane and the endothelium are replaced. Pre-Descemet’s endothelial keratoplasty (PDEK) is the latest surgical technique for corneal transplantation. This book is a step by step guide to PDEK for practising ophthalmologists. Divided into five sections, the text begins with the basics explaining corneal anatomy, pre-operative assessment, general techniques in keratoplasty, and the principles of PDEK. The following chapters discuss surgical techniques, special situations, and complications and results. The text covers numerous clinical scenarios and concludes with a section on miscellaneous topics such as OCT guided PDEK, eye bank preparation, and cosmetic iris implant complications. The text is further enhanced by surgical photographs and includes an interactive DVD ROM demonstrating PDEK techniques.

Mastering Corneal Surgery: Recent Advances and Current Techniques comprehensively covers all the recent advances in the existing techniques for common and rare corneal conditions, as well as presents the potential intraoperative circumstances the surgeon can face with their patients. Mastering Corneal Surgery: Recent Advances and Current Techniques by Drs. Amar Agarwal and Thomas John, along with more than 50 contributors, cover the most recent innovations in corneal surgery, including corneal procedures in combination with IOL implantation in eyes with deficient capsules, and combining endothelial keratoplasty with IOL repositioning. Bonus! Extensive high-quality video demonstrations of the techniques discussed inside Mastering Corneal Surgery: Recent Advances and Current Techniques enhances the written text, creating a superior companion website resource. The 28 videos, combined with the written text, clinical photographs and pictures, furthers the learning process more than learning from text or video alone. Mastering Corneal Surgery: Recent Advances and Current Techniques covers all the recent advances in the existing techniques for common and rare corneal conditions and presents the potential intraoperative circumstances the surgeon can encounter with their patients. The general ophthalmologist and cornea specialist will welcome the novel surgical methods and their differences from the existing techniques highlighted inside this cutting-edge resource.

Ocular surface diseases in children have not always been well understood and the literature in this age group is limited. The consequences of misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis include visually significant scarring and amblyopia, thus with real impact on their quality of life and ultimate visual potential. Recently, there has been an increase in clinical and research focus on these diseases, contributing to a growing awareness of their importance to pediatric visual health. This book is the first comprehensive volume dedicated to pediatric ocular surface diseases. It provides an up-to-date and highly illustrated discussion of the pathophysiology, symptomatology and diagnostic and therapeutic strategies of these less commonly understood diseases, in a format that is readily absorbed by trainees and seasoned physicians alike. The aim of this book is to provide a practical and detailed understanding of ocular surface disease in the pediatric population, as many of these corneal conditions in children require unique therapeutic approaches and may have subtle presentations. Chapters will address key issues, such as dry eye disease, Steven Johnson Syndrome and neurotrophic keratitis, that can have a profound impact on children’s visual and social development. Pediatric Ocular Surface Disease is a must-have resource for pediatric ophthalmology fellows, cornea fellows, pediatric ophthalmologists, and cornea specialists.

State-of-the-art book provides hands-on guidance on the latest endothelial keratoplasty techniques A significant number of eye disorders result from deficiencies in the endothelial layer of the cornea. Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) helps spare patients from months of refractive adjustments, lengthy recovery, complications, and poor outcomes associated with full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty. This newer methodology is based on more selective transplantation of cells and is less invasive, resulting in quicker recovery and more efficacious outcomes. Contributors are world-renowned pioneers who are front and center in implementing innovative, sight-restoring techniques that continue to change the ophthalmic surgery landscape. In the first section, a solid foundation is laid with discussion of anatomy, the history of EK, clinical aspects of endothelial cell dysfunction, and clinico-pathology. Subsequent sections cover surgical procedures, special topics, surgical outcomes, complications, and future trends. Readers will gain invaluable insights from clinical pearls throughout the book, gleaned from hands-on experience by leading experts in the field of ocular surgery. Key Features: A large compendium of high-quality videos demonstrate cutting-edge approaches Richly illustrated with 400 images that further delineate anatomy and techniques Anterior segment surgery advances including Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK), predescemet's endothelial keratoplasty (PDEK), ultrathin DSEK, Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), and trocar anterior chamber maintainer Treatment of conditions such as pseudophakic bullous keratopathy and Fuchs' dystrophy Management of complicated cases including glued IOL, cataract extraction & IOL implantation, glaucoma, failed grafts, and scarred corneas This book is a stellar resource on the surgical management of patients with corneal disease. It will benefit both trainees and practicing ophthalmologists - and is a must-have for specialists who perform corneal surgery.

In the 21st century, the latest developments in ophthalmic surgery are in the field of presbyopia. This dynamic book not only presents the concepts necessary to understand presbyopia, but also offers the surgical possibilities for treating the condition. It is the ideal resource for ophthalmologists who currently perform presbyopic treatment as well as those who desire to move into it. Dr. Amar Agarwal and his contributors have created a complete, thorough book about the management of this condition. It covers the scleral, corneal, and lenticular modifications to treat presbyopia, dissects each technique, and explains how to manage complications of each technique. The most recent treatments, cataract or clear lens surgery, as well as the no-anesthesia procedure, are discussed in full detail. The latest technique of cataract removal through a 0.9-mm incision by phakonit followed by IOL implantation is also covered. Presbyopia is ophthalmology's new frontier. This in-depth book, developed with input from prominent doctors, paves the way for understanding this emerging topic. Ophthalmologists, optometrists, and residents will benefit from the insightful subject matter contained in this book.
