Main description:

This book provides an illustrated guide to peripheral retinal degenerations and the role of spectral domain coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in diagnosis and treatment. The book discusses 73 clinical cases and gives detailed information on the principles of SD-OCT and its application in the imaging of peripheral retina.

Peripheral Retinal Degenerations: Optical Coherence Tomography and Retinal Laser Coagulation, 2nd edition, discusses a broad range of retinal pathologies such as chorioretinal degenerations, posterior vitreous detachment, vitreoretinal adhesions and tractions and includes a plethora of high-quality clinical images throughout. Ophthalmologists and retinal specialists will find this updated edition to be the perfect didactic resource for furthering skills and knowledge in this clinical area.

Contents:

Principles and methods of peripheral retina OCT scanning .- Optical coherence tomography of the peripheral retina and the vitreoretinal interface.- Peripheral retinal degenerations as a risk factor for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.- Intraretinal degenerations.- Vitreoretinal degenerations.- Chorioretinal degenerations.- Retinal laser photocoagulation in peripheral degenerations.
