Practical Atlas of Retinal Disease and Therapy

Book excerpt: Now in its revised, updated Second Edition, this unique atlas is a practical, well-organized, and thoroughly illustrated guide to the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases. The book combines succinct, pragmatic discussions of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies with more than 700 full-color retinal photographs, which clearly and vividly depict the distinguishing features of each disease and the most effective treatment techniques. The photographs and text will enable clinicians to rapidly diagnose specific disease entities and determine the most appropriate medical or surgical therapy. The Second Edition features four new chapters on endophthalmitis; submacular surgery; arterial and related retinovascular occlusive disease; and macular holes and other surgical macular disorders. Numerous new illustrations have been added, and many illustrations from the previous edition have been replaced by new ones of greater clarity. Chapters have been updated to provide state-of-the-art information on current diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
