Allergic Disorders of the Ocular Surface by De Gaulle I. Chigbu Pdf

This is a textbook for students and practitioners involved in the management of patients with ocular allergy. Allergic disorders of the ocular surface affect more than 20% of the general population and they are ocular diseases in which IgE- and/or T-lymphocyte mediated mechanisms are involved. They can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life. This book addresses the important aspects of allergic disorders of the ocular surface with particular emphasis on the pathomechanism and pharmacotherapy of the different types of ocular allergy. The cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathomechanism of allergic eye diseases, as well as the lymphocytic activation process are also discussed. The book will provide the reader with considerable insight into the pharmacotherapy of allergic eye diseases with emphasis on the clinical pharmacology of anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical agents.

Ocular Surface by Raul Martin Herranz,Rosa M. Corrales Herran Pdf

This book has been conceived to aid eye care practitioners such as ophthalmologists and optometrists as well as other eye care or research professionals such as biologists, biochemists and medical doctors interested in the Ocular Surface. This text is divided into four main sections. The first section is dedicated towards the anatomy and physiology of the ocular surface (defining ocular surface concept, tear film structure, corneal and conjunctival anatomy, etc.). The second section covers the most common ocular surface disorders (dry eye, anterior and posterior blepharitis, keratitis, ocular allergy, cicatricial conjunctivitis, and the ocular surface alterations related with Glaucoma treatment). The third section delineates the therapeutic care of these disorders, including topical, systemic and surgical treatment options and the fourth section addresses the relationship of the ocular surface and contact lenswear (describing the indications for contact lenses wear, their complications and managing the adverse effects related with contact lens-wear).

Considerations in Contact Lens Use Under Adverse Conditions by National Research Council,Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Committee on Vision,Working Group on Contact Lens Use Under Adverse Conditions Pdf

This book summarizes current understanding of the scientific, clinical, and technical issues surrounding the use of contact lenses. It discusses the special occupational conditions experienced by military personnel, particularly in extreme environments, that give rise to the question of whether or not to use contact lenses. Experts in optometry, ophthalmology, visual psychophysics, and engineering describe recent developments in design and use; and representatives of the military services provide examples of actual situations in aerospace settings. Considerations in Contact Lens Use Under Adverse Conditions will be of particular interest to those involved in the design of contact lenses and those responsible for occupational safety and health matters in the private sector.

Inflammatory Diseases of the Conjunctiva by Thanh Hoang-Xuan,Christophe Baudouin,Catherine Creuzot-Garcher Pdf

A splendid book...material is presented beautifully...the illustrations are spectacular. --C. Stephen Foster, MD, Professor of Ophthalmology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts I am very impressed by the quality of the presentations...it is simply a superb book. --Claes H. Dohlman, MD, Professor of Ophthalmology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts As conjunctivitis is one of the most difficult eye disorders to treat and diagnose, Inflammatory Diseases of the Conjunctiva is an extremely valuable, problem-solving text for the practicing ophthalmologist. This new book provides outstanding guidance on diagnosing and managing all aspects of acute and chronic conjunctivitis, including a thorough understanding of the causes and basic mechanisms of the disorder. Beginning with a complete description of the functional anatomy of the conjunctiva, the book goes on to cover the major conjunctival inflammatory diseases, including acute infections, allergic, auto-immune, iatrogenic, chlamydial and others. Conjunctivitis associated with systemic inflammatory conditions such as Sjogren's syndrome or bullous mucocutaneous disease is also discussed. Key Features: Practical diagnosis and treatment tables, along with clear and helpful diagrams Over 200 superb, full-color illustrations Invaluable information on the management of inflammatory conditions of the conjunctiva An exhaustive bibliography While other books have addressed conjunctivitis in individual chapters, this is the most comprehensive publication available today.

Cornea and External Eye Disease by Thomas Reinhard,Frank Larkin Pdf

This outstanding volume in 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 primary and tertiary literature. The superbly structured volume covers a dizzying array of topics including Herpes simplex keratitis; amniotic membrane transplantation for the treatment of corneal ulceration in infectious keratitis; and Chlamydial infection, all three of which are hugely relevant today. All the topics have direct clinical importance and will not only keep ophthalmologists up to date, but will inform them of how to treat their cornea patients with optimal diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
