Overview of the status of the broad range of laser applications.
This book discusses the new era of modern retinal laser therapy and its clinical applications. While the photocoagulation era universally presupposed the therapeutic necessity of laser-induced retinal damage, the modern retinal laser therapy is equally opposed to this idea. The evidence for this sea-change in the understanding of retinal laser is well presented within this book, and the conceptual and clinical consequences are discussed with particular emphasis on the emergence of retinal laser therapy as the first reasonable preventive and restorative intervention for the most important retinal disorders. Finally, the future of modern retinal laser therapy is highlighted with respect to coming technological advances, remaining challenges, and the place of retinal laser in the management of retinal disease. This book is an essential resource for all ophthalmic residents and clinicians seeking a clear and concise guide to modern retinal laser therapy in their everyday practice.
American ophthalmologists, who have only recently been given FDA approval to perform Photorefractive Keratectomy for low myopia, will find this resource especially valuable. The contributors are primarily British and Australian researchers and clinicians who have been working to develop this instrument and refine its clinical applications. Scientific principles and current clinical and research trends are covered, along with practical information on patient assessment, surgical techniques, clinical results, and the identification, avoidance and management of complications. Clinical images of both normal and rare sequelae of excimer laser surgery illustrate the text. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
As new laser technology continues to emerge in the eye care field, there is a need for an up-to-date, comprehensive resource for eye care providers who are learning or currently performing these laser procedures. Edited by Lars Freisberg, Nate Lighthizer, Leonid Skorin, Jr., Karl Stonecipher, and Aaron Zimmerman, The Ophthalmic Laser Handbook is a practical, clinical guide that covers everything from indications and procedural techniques to contraindications and potential adverse events. This all-in-one reference, including over 45 videos of laser procedures in the e-version, is designed for all eye care providers—from those performing the procedures to those co-managing pre- and post-operative visits.

Clearly and concisely covers all aspects of the YAG laser, from the physics of the YAG to its applications in the clinical setting.
Laser treatment is becoming more and more important to the ophthalmologist. This book is a practical, state-of-the-art presentation of ophthalmic laser treatment. The basic fundamentals of laser treatment are covered in the first 5 chapters. Emphasis is placed on photocoagulation of retinal disease and Nd-YAG photodisruption of the anterior part of the eye, both of which are becoming common. The combination of colour photographs of the ocular fundus and wide-field fluorescein angiograms is well displayed in a facing-page format.
