Quality of Vision, Essential Optics by Jack T. Holladay, MD, MSEE, FACS Softcover - 250 pages Shipped in CLICK HERE Cat.# DA-OPH2 $115.40 BUY Published:  2007   ISBN:  9781556428012

For the Cataract and Refractive Surgeon

Good vision is more than 20/20 on a Snellen visual acuity chart. The modern ophthalmologist understands that contrast sensitivity, near and distance vision, performance under light and dark conditions, and the brain’s interpretation of input from the sensory apparatus, are all important elements in patients’ quality of vision.

In Quality of Vision, ophthalmologist and optics expert Dr. Jack T. Holladay explores the elements of vision that lie beyond Snellen testing. He explains the “whys” behind the machinery, instruments, technology, and procedures commonly used to assess vision before and after cataract and refractive surgery. With a better understanding of these tools, ophthalmologists can deliver better vision for their cataract and refractive surgery patients.

Quality of Vision addresses:

• Measuring and treating astigmatism in corneal and IOL surgery
• The importance of correcting spherical aberration in cataract and refractive surgery
• IOL calculations after refractive surgery
• Promising approaches to the correction of presbyopia
• Other practical topics the clinician can use every day

Recognized as the leader in ophthalmic optics, Dr. Holladay incorporates practical aspects of daily
practice into each chapter as he expertly explains the scientific principles, mathematical formulas, and theories behind these important issues. Additionally, Quality of Vision includes numerous color illustrations to provide visual representations of the text’s key points.

Atlas of Microkeratome Assisted Lamellar Keratoplasty by Massimo Busin MD, and Robert C. Arffa MD Hardcover - 128 pages Shipped in CLICK HERE Cat.# DA-OPH5 $106.30 BUY Published:  2007   ISBN:  9781556427428

As recent developments and advancements in lamellar and penetrating keratoplasty surgery continue to rise, today’s surgeon involved with the treatment of various corneal disorders needs a solid text to stay on the cutting edge. Answering this call is the Atlas of Microkeratome Assisted Lamellar Keratoplasty.

Drs. Massimo Busin and Robert C. Arffa have compiled a comprehensive and unique resource that thoroughly describes the techniques of posterior and anterior lamellar keratoplasty surgery.

Inside the Atlas of Microkeratome Assisted Lamellar Keratoplasty,you will not only learn the essential details involved with the techniques, you will understand how these new procedures can improve surgical outcomes for the patient. Most surgical procedures described use a microkeratome to dissect both recipient and donor corneas, thus obtaining interfaces with optical quality compatible with 20/20 vision. Others use the microkeratome to dissect the donor, but not the recipient.

Advantages over conventional keratoplasty surgery discussed inside include:

• Surgical standardization
• Faster post-keratoplasty visual rehabilitation
• Minimization of post-keratoplasty refractive error

Additionally, Atlas of Microkeratome Assisted Lamellar Keratoplasty contains step-by-step intraoperative photographs and illustrations of techniques clearly depicting the surgery, as well as methods of avoiding and managing common pitfalls.

The novice ophthalmologist, beginning surgeon, and ophthalmic personnel looking to learn, acquire, and refine the latest and most effective treatment options available for various corneal disorders will all benefit from this pioneering text.

Perimetry and the Fundus, An Introduction to Microperimetry by Edoardo Midena Hardcover - 272 pages Shipped in CLICK HERE Cat.# DA-OPH10 $192.70 BUY Published:  2007   ISBN:  9781556427756

Perimetry and the Fundus: An Introduction to Microperimetry is an innovative and comprehensive
text that provides essential information about microperimetry, the latest approach in evaluating the
fundus and diagnosing retinal and optic nerve dysfunction and diseases.

Inside Perimetry and the Fundus, Dr. Edoardo Midena details how this technique is performed and
discusses how testing patterns can be tailored to a variety of retinal, macular, and optic nerve disorders.

Perimetry and the Fundus offers a detailed explanation of how microperimetry is used to
topographically locate retinal fixation and retinal function defects such as relative or dense scotomas. This unique resource provides information about the functional status of the macula and more diffused retinal dysfunction and identifies changes that are more difficult to diagnose using traditional techniques, particularly early in the disease course when the macula may appear stable in appearance. Additionally, a description of the functional impact of many different retinal abnormalities and the treatment options available for the functional diagnosis of retinal disease is provided.

As microperimetry is establishing itself as an important form of functional testing; clinicians who are treating patients suffering from diseases of retinal neural cells, such as glaucoma and retinal dystrophies and degeneration, as well as patients with low vision, will welcome Perimetry and the Fundus into their practice.
