Robert D. Stratton ● William W. Hauswirth Thomas W. Gardner Editors 2012 The current state of understanding the roles that oxidative and nitrosative/nitrative stress play in cellular metabolism of the retina as well as in diseases of the retina is the subject of this volume. The extreme complexity of the physiology of the retina in health and in […]

David J. Browning 2012 Evidence-Based Management Diabetic retinopathy is the most common retinal vasculopathy. Retinal vein occlusions make up the next most common category.

The new 23-gauge and 25-gauge techniques are transforming vitreoretinal surgery into a much safer and less traumatic surgical procedure. We are convinced that the 23-gauge and 25-gauge vitrectomy will become the gold standard for vitrectomy worldwide. It will be as safe and reliable as phacoemulsification is today.

Kenna • Matthew Campbell Anna-Sophia Kiang 2012 Progress in Development of Genetic and Molecular Therapies The euphoria we experienced in 1989, in localizing ‘the’ gene for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa to the long arm of chromosome 3, was an exuberance that […]

Christoph Faschinger • Anton Hommer 2012 Do you remember your ophthalmology teacher? Sitting at the slit lamp, a lens in his/her hand, rotating slowly clockwise, staring into the tubes of the slit lamp and the patient waiting patiently for the end of the procedure while methylcellulose ran down his/her cheek … and no words, a few notes, maybe a […]

Kanagasingam Yogesan Leonard Goldschmidt • Jorge Cuadros Editors 2012 Since publishing our first book on teleophthalmology in 2006, we have seen the field expand rapidly to encompass many ophthalmic applications. There has been a significant increase in peer-reviewed studies related to teleophthalmology from around the world.
