"DSEK: What You Need to Know About Endothelial Keratoplasty provides a comprehensive background of EK, where it is today, and where it is headed in the future. Francis W. Price, MD. who was the first to complete DSEK in the United States, along with Marianne Price, PhD, have designed this text to offer a special emphasis on how to perform surgeries along with preventing and managing complications. In addition, a diverse group of contributing authors provides a wide array of insights and tips for better patient outcomes."--BOOK JACKET.
This book presents the clinical features, invasive and non-invasive modalities of diagnosis of conjunctival and corneal infections, especially atypical clinical situations in unusual cases of keratitis, and manage the disease entity. Infections of cornea continues to be the leading cause of ocular morbidity and blindness worldwide. Early diagnosis helps in better outcome. Proper understanding of the microbiological and clinical characteristics of this disease entity enables ophthalmologists to initiate appropriate therapy. Corneal infections, especially due to uncommon organisms, are difficult to diagnose and treat. With 17 chapters, this volume covers the entire spectrum of corneal and conjunctival infections. This is a quick go-to book for general as well as specialist ophthalmologists.
This work describes confocal microscopy of the cornea, a new imaging diagnostic technique in ophthalmology. Chapters review the principles of confocal microscopy, describe various types of corneal pathologies, look at the application of the procedure during corneal surgery, and discuss postoperative follow-up and identification of complications. Conditions discussed include corneal dystrophies, keratoconus, and corneal haze. Many b&w medical images are included. The book is useful as a reference for ophthalmologists interested in clinical cornea and corneal surgery. Mastropasqua is professor of ophthalmology at University G. D'Annunzio, Italy. Nubile is a resident in ophthalmology at the same institution. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

This book summarizes current understanding of the scientific, clinical, and technical issues surrounding the use of contact lenses. It discusses the special occupational conditions experienced by military personnel, particularly in extreme environments, that give rise to the question of whether or not to use contact lenses. Experts in optometry, ophthalmology, visual psychophysics, and engineering describe recent developments in design and use; and representatives of the military services provide examples of actual situations in aerospace settings. Considerations in Contact Lens Use Under Adverse Conditions will be of particular interest to those involved in the design of contact lenses and those responsible for occupational safety and health matters in the private sector.
Extensively revised and expanded, this classic reference is now more clinically useful than ever before. It has been updated to include the most current topics, such as infectious scleritis, corneal topography analysis, and differential diagnosis of conjunctivitis and corneal disease, to name just a few. Beautifully illustrated, it contains nearly 600 photographs and detailed line drawings, with more than 200 in full color. With publication of the new fourth edition, it remains the ideal practical overview on corneal diseases for the practicing ophthalmologist. * Fully updated and greatly expanded to bring the reader of this classic text up to date. * Completely updated references include the most current sources, while other, less useful references have been deleted to maintain brevity and clinical relevance. * More illustrations (including many in full color) than any other mid-sized text.
