Book Description
This book, written by a pioneer in the field, describes the philosophy of the novel treatment from its conception through clinical testing and trails up to the current scientific knowledge. This memorable and triumphal journey has started with the creation of the idea to use non-damaging laser power to launch reparable processes in the human retina. This was in diametric contrast to philosophy of using predominantly destructive laser photocoagulation techniques, which eliminate diseased tissue only in hope to improve natural history of the disease. The novel concept was followed by establishing physical theory by the author and observing a biochemical evidence of retinal repair mechanisms by other groups. Clinical observations on countless number of patients have solidified the theory attesting to the effects of nondestructive and reparative stimulating therapy. The elegance of this approach is that retinal repair is agnostic to initial retinal process leading to damage and is, therefore, applicable for use in various retinal conditions irrespective of their origin.

Retina Lasers in Ophthalmology
Author: Andrzej Grzybowski
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031257790
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
This book discusses the new era of modern retinal laser therapy and its clinical applications. While the photocoagulation era universally presupposed the therapeutic necessity of laser-induced retinal damage, the modern retinal laser therapy is equally opposed to this idea. The evidence for this sea-change in the understanding of retinal laser is well presented within this book, and the conceptual and clinical consequences are discussed with particular emphasis on the emergence of retinal laser therapy as the first reasonable preventive and restorative intervention for the most important retinal disorders. Finally, the future of modern retinal laser therapy is highlighted with respect to coming technological advances, remaining challenges, and the place of retinal laser in the management of retinal disease. This book is an essential resource for all ophthalmic residents and clinicians seeking a clear and concise guide to modern retinal laser therapy in their everyday practice.

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Eye
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Laser treatment is becoming more and more important to the ophthalmologist. This book is a practical, state-of-the-art presentation of ophthalmic laser treatment. The basic fundamentals of laser treatment are covered in the first 5 chapters. Emphasis is placed on photocoagulation of retinal disease and Nd-YAG photodisruption of the anterior part of the eye, both of which are becoming common. The combination of colour photographs of the ocular fundus and wide-field fluorescein angiograms is well displayed in a facing-page format.
