Retina: Medical & Surgical Management

This book is a comprehensive guide to the medical and surgical management of retinal diseases and disorders.

The new edition has been fully revised and updated to provide clinicians with the latest advances in the field.

Divided into 63 chapters, the text begins with an overview of clinical anatomy and physiology of the  vitreous and retina, imaging and ultrasonography, and electrophysiology.

The following sections cover management of numerous different retinal disorders, from macular dystrophies, retinal arterial occlusion and diabetic macular edema, to giant retinal tears, blunt ocular trauma, cancer associated retinopathies, shaken baby syndrome, and many more.

This second edition features the latest developments in diagnostics, clinical management guidelines, instruments and vitreoretinal surgeries. New topics include the emerging role of 3D ‘heads up’ vitreoretinal surgery and microscope integrated optical coherence tomography in retinal surgery.

The extensive text is further enhanced by clinical images and illustrations.
