Book Description

Corneal topography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique for mapping the surface of the cornea. Dr Agarwal’s Textbook on Corneal Topography is the latest edition of this comprehensive guide to the capabilities of this type of imaging. Divided into six sections, the first is an introduction to corneal topography and orbscan. The following sections cover specific imaging techniques and related issues including orbscan and refractive surgery, pentacam and anterior segment optical coherence tomography, aberropia, aberrations and topography, and refractive procedures and conditions. The final chapter covers corneal topography in cataract surgery. This third edition is thoroughly updated with four brand new chapters. Section Three on pentacam and anterior segment OCT includes new chapters on corneal inflammation and optical coherence tomography, optical coherence tomography and corneal ectasia, and spectral-domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography in refractive surgery. The final section includes an OCT assessment of glued IOL position. This highly illustrated guide to the latest developments in the field of corneal topography includes nearly 400 full colour images, making Dr Agarwal’s Textbook on Corneal Topography an essential resource for ophthalmologists. Key Points Comprehensive guide to the latest technological developments in corneal topography New edition includes four brand new chapters Nearly 400 full colour images and illustrations Previous edition published 2010

Book Description

The new edition of this leading text atlas on corneal topography has been updated to include the latest advances in technology, such as Pentacam and Orbscan. The principles and theory underlying each technology are first clearly explained, and clinical applications are then examined. The authors describe how to use the different technologies and devices, explain the clinical readout with illustrations of normal corneal topography, discuss applications and findings in common disease states, and present the appearances after various corneal surgical procedures. The pros and cons of each system are highlighted. This up-to-date, superbly illustrated book is the most comprehensive guide to corneal topography currently available. It is anticipated that this second edition will become the seminal corneal topography textbook for all with an interest in corneal disease and its management, and refractive surgery.

Book Description

Given that most ophthalmic surgeons have at some time in their careers struggled with reading a corneal topography map and attempting to ascertain if it is normal or abnormal, this handy step by step guide to corneal topography is an excellent aide-memoire. The illustrious Agarwal family cover the common use of corneal topography - keratoconus detection – as well as more unique areas such as the extensive use of corneal topography for cataract surgery and phakonit, as well as posterior corneal topography, and aberropia. Going one step further than many other texts in the field, this impressive guide also presents splendid information on the use of topography for aberrometry-guided excimer laster applications. Making the difficult and often confusing mixture of art and science that is corneal topography seem more manageable in day-to-day practice, Step by Step Corneal Topography is undoubtedly requisite reading for all ophthalmologists.

Book Description

Corneal topography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique for mapping the surface curvature of the cornea, the outer structure of the eye. This procedure may be carried out with a Pentacam, which uses a rotating camera to create a 3D image of the anterior of the eye. This second edition has been fully updated to provide the latest developments in corneal topography and tomography using the Pentacam machine. Beginning with an introduction, the following sections describe the fundamentals of corneal topography and use of the Pentacam with different ophthalmic disorders. With nearly 250 high quality, colour images and illustrations, this concise guide is especially useful to graduate and postgraduate students in learning how to read and interpret corneal topography.

Book Description

This mini atlas is an edited collection of the latest information on corneal topography written by international contributors from the USA, Europe and India. The main issue in refractive surgery is the pre-operative assessment and for that topography is essential. This concise textbook provides information on the Orbscan topography unit and its usefulness in predicting and diagnosing ectasia, the Pentacam topography unit, the relation between and usefulness of both topography and wavefront aberrometry and the use of topography in cataract surgery. Each chapter contains copious colour images to illustrate the text, a total of 180 throughout the book, and they can also be viewed on screen using the free CD Rom. In brief, this mini atlas is an outstanding pocket reference for ophthalmic practitioners.

Book Description

Since the advent of keratorefractive surgery and its rising popularity, irregular astigmatism has become an increasingly important issue for ophthalmologists and optometrists. Despite the success of LASIK and PRK, there are more and more patients experiencing visual quality problems due to the non-physiological modification of the corneal structure. Among these complications, irregular astigmatism is perhaps the most difficult to treat. Every physician who performs keratorefractive surgery understands that in reducing a patient.s refractive error, there is a possibility of creating irreversible effects on visual quality. This text is intended to help prevent and reduce the iatrogenic creation of irregular astigmatism, as well as provide effective treatment when postoperative complications do arise. With the maturation of keratorefractive technology in recent years, effective treatment for iatrogenic irregular astigmatism is quickly developing. It provides everything refractive surgeons, ophthalmologists, and optometrists need to know about this important topic.
