Optometry and Ophthalmology: Books

Handbook of Adaptive Optics : from Foundations to Applications

Adaptive Optics (AO) is a technique allowing the manipulation of the wavefront of the light benefitting multiple fields like Microscopy, Optical Coherence Tomography, Visual Testing, Optical Communications, and Astronomical Optics, just to mention some examples. The Handbook of Adaptive Optics contains a complete picture of the technique from the foundations to the most promising applications of AO in a variety of fields. (Provided by Publisher.)

Clinical Anatomy and Physiology of the Visual System

Taking the place of the multiple texts traditionally needed to cover visual anatomy and physiology, Clinical Anatomy and Physiology of the Visual System, 3rd Edition dramatically lightens your load by providing one book that covers it all! This concise, well-referenced resource contains information on the clinical anatomy of the eye, its adnexa and visual pathways, histologic information, plus newly added content on physiology of the human ocular structures. Vivid illustrations complement the text and provide clinical information on diseases and disorders that represent departures from normal clinical anatomy. Comprehensive physiology coverage clarifies the integration between structure and function, eliminating your need for multiple books on the anatomy and physiology of the visual system. An emphasis on clinical application helps you better understand the processes that occur in disease and dysfunction. Genetic information keeps you current with the latest developments in visual anatomy and physiology (Provided by Publisher).

Computational Methods and Deep Learning for Ophthalmology

Computational Methods and Deep Learning for Ophthalmology presents readers with the concepts and methods needed to design and use advanced computer-aided diagnosis systems for ophthalmologic abnormalities in the human eye. Chapters cover computational approaches for diagnosis and assessment of a variety of ophthalmologic abnormalities. Computational approaches include topics such as Deep Convolutional Neural Networks, Generative Adversarial Networks, Auto Encoders, Recurrent Neural Networks, and modified/hybrid Artificial Neural Networks. Ophthalmological abnormalities covered include Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy, Macular Degeneration, Retinal Vein Occlusions, eye lesions, cataracts, and optical nerve disorders. This handbook provides biomedical engineers, computer scientists, and multidisciplinary researchers with a significant resource for addressing the increase in the prevalence of diseases such as Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma, and Macular Degeneration (Provided by Publisher).

Pivotal Trials in Ophthalmology

Pivotal Trials in Ophthalmology: A Guide for Trainees is an introductory text designed to give trainees a comprehensive and accessible overview of landmark trials in the different subspecialties of ophthalmology, and may also serve as a useful reference for practicing ophthalmologists, optometrists and researchers in the field.  The text is subdivided by subspecialty, with each chapter authored by both a trainee and an expert in the field. A selection of pivotal research studies that have shaped how practitioners diagnose, manage, and treat disease are reviewed in chronological order. The purpose, study design, results, and study limitations are reviewed, and the key takeaway points from each study are listed in a digestible, bullet-point format. By listing the studies in chronological order, the reader will have an understanding of how studies have built upon each other and how knowledge has evolved over time. This text can serve as a basic introductory text for first year ophthalmology residents around which a standardized curriculum can be shaped, a study guide for board examination study, or a reference text for practitioners and researchers at any stage of training and practice (Provided by Publisher). 

The Wills Eye Manual : Office and Emergency Room Diagnosis and Treatment of Eye Disease

A best-selling source of compact, authoritative guidance on the treatment of ocular disorders in a variety of settings, The Wills Eye Manual, 8th Edition, is the comprehensive, high-yield reference of choice for both trainees and seasoned practitioners. It provides highly illustrated information on more than 200 ophthalmic conditions along with proven clinical recommendations from initial diagnosis through extended treatment. The consistent, bulleted outline format makes it ideal for portability and quick reference. (Provided by Publisher.)
