In
volume one, we delve into the common cornea topics of structure,
physiology, anatomy, infectious etiologies, dystrophies, degenerations,
tumors, and immunological and metabolic conditions. In addition, volume
one explores innovative advances that are reshaping the field, such as
corneal biomechanics, prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface
ecosystem(PROSE), treatment for ocular surface disease, gene therapy in
the cornea, as well as a biosynthetic alternative to human donor tissue.
Each chapter is complete with an exhaustive literature review. And,
because of the diligence of our contributors, each segment is current,
relevant and expertly written.
The second volume is dedicated to
corneal surgery. In this book authors have tried to give an update on
standard corneal procedures, as well as new and emerging techniques like
collagen crosslinking, Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty
(DSAEK or DSEK), Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK),
deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), intrastromal corneal
implants, the use of light adjustable lenses in cataract surgery
following corneal refractive surgery, and the various femtosecond laser
applications in anterior segment surgery.
