Retinal and Choroidal Vascular Diseases of the Eye explores a variety of retinal and choroidal vascular diseases, covering their pathogenesis, clinical features, and management strategies. The book begins with an outline of the basic features of retinal and choroidal vasculature before moving on to imaging techniques. Chapters then delve into specific diseases and abnormalities, as well as vascular diseases that are associated with systemic inflammatory diseases. The book then moves onto considering vascular diseases associated with system conditions before considering vascular tumors. Recent innovations and upcoming treatment options are also explored for the various diseases throughout the book. This comprehensive reference provides a deep dive into vascular diseases of the eye, and is a must-have reference for ophthalmologists, medical and surgical retina specialists, and researchers in related fields - Explores numerous retinal and choroidal disease entities and their pathogenic mechanisms - Features multimodal images to help illustrate and describe the disease entities - Discusses innovative treatment options for choroidal vascular diseases - Considers the latest clinical trials related to retinal and choroidal disorders, and provides key learnings

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. Glaucoma is challenging to treat and poses a significant socioeconomic burden on society. New techniques and methods for both diagnosis and treatment are sorely needed. Glaucoma - Recent Advances and New Perspectives provides a comprehensive overview of glaucoma with chapters on topics ranging from diagnostic techniques to genetic testing and biomarkers.

These insightful overviews in ophthalmology and optometry inform and enhance clinical practice by bringing concepts to a clinical level and exploring their everyday impact on patient care. - Contains 30 articles on such topics as visual snow syndrome; current management of nystagmus; same-day bilateral cataract surgery; management of dislocated IOLs; distinguishing papilledema from pseudopapilledema; multidisciplinary orbital tumors; periocular aesthetics; and more. - Provides in-depth, clinical reviews in ophthalmology and optometry, providing actionable insights for clinical practice. - Presents the latest information in the field under the leadership of an experienced editorial team. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create these timely topic-based reviews.

This book examines the impact of climate change on eye disease and eye health. Filling a lacuna in the existing literature, Scott Fraser takes a deep dive into the eye diseases that are most affected by the climate crisis and explores the subsequent burden on organisations, charities and healthcare systems. Fraser begins by including short primer chapters on the basics of climate science and climate change, highlighting which environmental mechanisms directly and indirectly affect our health and why. He then looks in detail at the direct and indirect threats to eye health from climate change and examines factors including changing insect vectors, trauma from extreme weather events such as wildfires, floods and droughts, as well as the impact of crop failure, malnutrition, animal and plant migration. Highlighting the Global North vs South divide, the book goes on to consider issues around eye care, exploring the increased burden that climate-induced chronic eye diseases including cataracts, macular degeneration and nutritional eye diseases are placing on health care systems. These chapters also reflect on the ways in which eye care, ophthalmology, optometry, pharmaceutical and medical device companies all contribute to the climate footprint themselves. Unique and timely, this book will be a great resource for students and clinicians of ophthalmology, optometry and allied eye care professions, as well as climate scientists, researchers, policy makers, charities, NGOs working in related fields of environment and health.

This book examines the history, culture, and science behind health myths. The word “myth” can have two quite different meanings: (1) a shared tradition or story and (2) a belief that can be falsified. Most previous books have focused on “busting” the second type of myth – explaining why the myth is false. In contrast, “Believe It or Not: The History, Culture, and Science Behind Health Beliefs and Practices” explores the cultural and religious origins of each belief or practice and how it varies among countries and, within countries, according to age, education, ethnicity, and urban vs rural location. Most importantly, the book relies on systematic reviews and meta-analyses to assess the extent to which the health beliefs and practices are true and influence health status. Previous “myth-busting” books have not attempted rigorous, systematic evaluations of the scientific evidence for and against the beliefs and practices they discuss. This book includes a range of chapters dedicated to infection, skin and eye conditions, diet and food, and pregnancy and childbirth. In an era when social media, fake news, and contradictory opinions are a mere click away, people deserve to understand the science underlying common health beliefs. Believe It or Not: The History, Culture, and Science Behind Health Beliefs and Practices is a valuable read for the general public, curious about health and science but without technical, scientific, or medical training.
