About this book
This volume from the Essentials in Ophthalmology series presents recent developments in the diagnosis and treatment
of corneal disease. Its intention is not to replace the relevant textbooks, but to serve as a bridge between the primary and
tertiary literature.
This well-structured volume covers the following main topics: Confocal microscopy of the cornea.- Treatment of
adenoviral corneal opacities.- Conservative treatment of severe surface disorders.- Amniotic membrane transplantation.Limbal stem cell transplantation.- Techniques in penetrating keratoplasty.- Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.- Corneal
allograft rejection.- Infective complications following LASIK.
All topics have direct clinical importance and will not only keep ophthalmologists up-to-date, but will inform them how to
treat their cornea patients with optimal (or best possible) diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Written for:
Ophthalmologists in clinical and private practice, residents, ophthalmologists-in-training as well as optometrists and
ophthalmic nurses
