Guide for Corneal Ophthalmic Surgeons

Texte du rabat

Guide for Corneal Ophthalmic Surgeons discusses diagnostic techniques and their set up, presents treatment options (medical, surgical, and minimally invasive procedures), addresses post-surgery recovery, aftercare patient flow, and future developments. It includes visuals and illustrations to enhance understanding of complex concepts and surgical procedures for the cornea, along with techniques and instructions for the implementation of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Finally, the book contains updates on existing technologies, unpublished experiences, and results in the field of bioengineering for biosynthetic corneal endothelial corneal grafts.

In addition, the book dedicates multiple sections to updates on the most recent commercially available imaging techniques.
