A Practical Guide to Dry Eye Disease
trial was presented at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting in Washington DC. After its publication in The New England Journal of Medicine1, we reassessed our text, especially with regard to the use of omega-3 fatty acids. We applaud the researchers’ diligence in examining the value of omega-3 fatty acids. While this study certainly enhances our understanding of dry eye disease, it does not obviate the use of all omega-3 fatty acids, which remain an important treatment option for dry eye disease. We are grateful to our expert and experienced contributing authors for the hard work and generous thoughtfulness put into sharing their knowledge. To reflect a diversity of perspectives, we recruited leaders in the field throughout North America from a variety of practice settings including university-based and private.
Microbiome and the Eye
Microbiome and the Eye: What’s the connection? highlights how alterations in the gut and eye microbiomes can lead to systemic immune alterations with subsequent effects on the eye. The book is divided into two sections, one highlighting how alterations in the gut microbiome impact various components of health outside the gut, with a focus on the immune system and inflammatory mediators, and the second focusing on studies on a variety of ocular diseases, including ocular surface diseases/dry eye, keratitis, uveitis, glaucoma, and retinopathy to gut dysbiosis. With its translational approach, the book is suitable for both researchers and clinicians. The book will help readers understand the mechanisms in which gut and eye microbiome composition may influence health in multiple compartments, with a focus on eye diseases. Helps researchers understand the clinical eye diseases that have been linked to gut microbiome abnormalities Helps clinicians understand the mechanisms in which gut microbiome composition may influence health in multiple compartments Provides a foundation for future studies that consider gut microbiome manipulations as a treatment for specific eye diseases
Ocular Surface Disease
Using a case-based format to help disseminate some of the hard-to-find information on ocular surface disease, this book is written and edited by leaders in this rapidly evolving field. Each chapter is built around three actual patient cases with varying degrees of complexity whereby detailed aspects of the care are described in order to provide practical information and illustrate real world challenges. Ocular Surface Disease covers the most common disorders, ranging from dry eye disease and tear film insufficiency to the more severe cicatricial diseases. The role and application of both medical and surgical treatments are carefully explained. The book is intended for ophthalmologists, both in practice or in training, who are seeking an update on the more advanced clinical practices
Clinical Atlas of Anterior Segment OCT: Optical Coherence Tomography
While eye care providers are thoroughly familiar with the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma and retinal diseases, many are not as familiar with its myriad uses for the diagnosis of corneal and anterior segment conditions. Anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) can help to differentiate between various corneal pathologies, show the anatomy of the angles, obtain information about the lens-capsule complex, and guide contact lens fitting, among many other clinical uses. Clinical Atlas of Anterior Segment OCT expertly guides clinicians through all aspects of AS-OCT with hundreds of high-quality OCT images that highlight the utility of AS-OCT in diagnosin...
Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis
A handy manual for cornea specialists, this book provides detailed practical information about a complex, sight-threatening disease that can be challenging to diagnose and manage. This text features chapters dedicated to outlining all facets of diagnosis and management while covering both medical and surgical treatment options. Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis, supplemented with useful references and appendices to provide simple step by step algorithms, is written by internationally renowned authors who are experts in the field.Including practical tips and guidelines for diagnosis and therapy of these disorders, Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis is designed to serve as a guide for comprehensive ophthalmologists and should find itself on the bookshelves of ophthalmology clinics, corneal practices and training programs across the country.
Dry Eye Disease
Due to the growing population of dry eye patients, there has been much study of dry eye disease. Following the full reports of the International Dry Eye Workshops of 2007 and 2017 (DEWS I and II), as well as the recent Dry Eye Assessment and Management (DREAM) trial, there is a growing body of consensus and evidence-based literature on the treatment of dry eye. Dry Eye Disease: A Practical Guide synthesizes all these scientific sources into a comprehensive, yet, user-friendly clinical reference. From epidemiology and pathogenesis, to disease subgroups, diagnostics, and management, Drs. Francis Mah and Michelle Rhee with their team of over 35 renowned contributors have distilled all the lates...
Clinical Cases in Ocular Oncology
The complex area of ocular oncology requires adaptable approaches to treatment depending on the type and anatomical region of the tumor, tumor characteristics, the patient’s age, co-morbidities, and response to first-line treatment. Through the use of practical, case-based content, Clinical Cases in Ocular Oncology helps you familiarize yourself with clinical decision making in this challenging field, providing expert guidance on diagnosis, management, and treatment planning. Includes 66 cases covering a range of patient presentations and scenarios that mirror day-to-day practice. Covers a variety of ophthalmic tumors, including intraocular melanoma, lymphoma of the eye, retinoblastoma, co...
The Sjögren's Book
"The Sjögren's Foundation was founded in 1983 by a patient, for the patient, and continues to serve as the only non-profit organization in the United States that is solely focused on Sjögren's. The Foundation's mission, as seen in Box 1.1, shows our commitment to ensuring that patients and healthcare professionals have the education, resources and services they need to help conquer the complexities of Sjögren's"--
Corneal Regeneration
This text provides expert instruction on the varying surgical techniques currently employed for the regeneration of the ocular surface. Corneal Regeneration: Therapy and Surgery begins with a thorough discussion of current research based on data obtained in clinical human studies, and discusses the potential clinical implications for this promising new stage of eye surgery. Sections devoted to the stem cell, regenerative surgery and therapy of the ocular surface epithelium, corneal stroma, and corneal endothelium follow, each section comprehensively covering applied anatomy, current therapy and regenerative techniques, with a look to future directions of the field including eventual cell therapy. Corneal Regeneration: Therapy and Surgery is the first book of its kind, systematically covering the developments the medical community has achieved in corneal regeneration from all angles. Written and edited by leading experts in the field, researchers and ophthalmologists alike will find this to be a unique source of information on corneal regeneration, as well as a thoughtful reflection on potential applications of regenerative surgery in ophthalmology as a whole.
