Over the past five years, in sharing patients with him, following his research, and benefitting from his teaching, I have come to marvel at Dr. Stephen Foster's mind, dedication, and productivity. No one has a richer or more challenging clinical practice, has approached his clinical care with more critical questioning, or has produced as much useful clinical and basic research in his field. Steve has kept meticulous clinical records with elegant photographic documentation, which serve as the basis for the creation of this treatise. He has been fortunate in his co-author, Dr. Sainz de la Maza, who initially inveigled Steve to participate in this project and then set herself the enormous task ...
This book guides ophthalmologists through interpretation of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images, which are cross-sectional images captured through non-invasive, non-contact imaging technology. Begins with analysis of the subdivides of each image into its smallest components, followed by a combination of these fine details to allow diagnosis and identification of appropriate treatment; features detailed schematic illustrations as well as actual scans, and offers information on technical and clinical uses of OCT in study of glaucoma and 3D images. Full of high-quality images, this is a must-have for all practicing and training ophthalmologists and optometrists.
Updated to include new material for beginners in ophthalmology and optometry, Ocular Anatomy and Physiology, Second Edition is an essential text that covers a range of fundamental information for students and clinicians. With collaborations from Al Lens, Sheila Coyne Nemeth, and Janice K. Ledford, Ocular Anatomy and Physiology, Second Edition now begins with a jump-start chapter to overview the topic for those new to the field of eye care.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th Chinese Conference on Biometric Recognition, CCBR 2013, held in Jinan, China, in November 2013. The 57 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from among 100 submissions. The papers address the problems in face, fingerprint, palm print, vein biometrics, iris and ocular biometrics, behavioral biometrics and other related topics, and contribute new ideas to research and development of reliable and practical solutions for biometric authentication.
Based on feedback, the authors have streamlined their bestselling reference to zero in on just the clinical answers ophthalmologists need in day-to-day practice. This new edition presents unparalleled guidance on nearly every ophthalmic condition and procedure.
