This book provides information on how to extract the most from mobile applications and easily adapt and integrate them into daily practice. Today mobile applications that can optimize patient flow, help in examinations, perform anterior/posterior segment imaging, offer differential diagnosis and therapeutic options and even serve as patient drug reminders and councilors are easily available. Most of them have been developed by individuals and as a result lack marketing, even though they are free to download and use. Ophthalmology has always been at the forefront of medicine when it comes to adopting the latest developments — be they lasers, off-label anti-VEGF drugs or biocompatible implants. Mobile phones and tablets have infiltrated our private and professional lives and they are here to stay. As such, this book explores the endless possibilities that mobile computing offers, and introduces the vista of opportunities for providing better care, one download at a time. As part of the series “Current Practices in Ophthalmology” this volume is intended for residents and fellows in-training, as well as general and specialist ophthalmologists.
Glaucoma is a condition of the eye in which the optic nerve is damaged due to increased fluid pressure in the eye. Left untreated, the condition may lead to permanent blindness. Presented as a collection of clinical case studies, this book is a complete guide to the treatment of glaucoma for both ophthalmologists and trainees. Beginning with an introduction to ocular hypertension, investigation techniques and the diagnosis of glaucoma, the following chapters describe different treatment methods. Potential surgical complications are discussed in detail to help clinicians determine the most appropriate management options. The final section covers clinical trials in glaucoma. Clinical photographs, flow charts and algorithms for patient management enhance learning. Key Points Comprehensive guide to diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma Presented as collection of clinical case studies In depth discussion on surgical complications Includes photographs, flow charts and algorithms to assist learning
Sight is the major gateway to lining. Worldwide, glaucoma is the leading cause of permanent loss of sight. But if people with glaucoma care for themselves well, they rarely become blind from glaucoma. This book aims to empower individuals by discussing important aspects of glaucoma in an accessible manner, with clear illustrations and helpful analogies. It focuses on ways the individual can take responsibility for his or her own health and live well, through being informed and practicing good self-care. While glaucoma stands at the center of this book, the concepts also apply to other diseases and life in general. Much of the available advice on health is so generic, so self-serving, and so incorrect it is not helpful to the individual seeking sound advice. This book was written to be useful to all those wanting to learn about glaucoma, see well, and be well. Dr. Spaeth has been caring for people with glaucoma for over 50 years and was voted the most influential eye doctor in the world by other eye doctors. Dr. Ichhpujani adds to the book the point of view of a busy, widely respected eye doctor practicing in India.
The text in the book outlines the scientific theories on the causation of glaucoma, incorporates the risk factors for disease and includes a detailed insight into the work up of glaucoma patients including both basic tests like gonioscopy/optic nerve head evaluation and advanced investigations of structure and function like the optical coherence tomography (OCT), glaucoma diagnosis (GDx) and Heidelberg retina tomography (HRT).

Written for ophthalmology residents and practitioners, this book provides the most comprehensive resource covering all the major aspects of aqueous humor and intraocular pressure dynamics. In addition to chapters on the conventional and new technologies for intraocular pressure assessment, there is a novel chapter on the engineering perspectives of continuous monitoring of the intraocular pressure. Based on the newer insights in aqueous outflow, this text offers a rational approach to the medical and surgical management of glaucoma.
