Description This text examines the vascular anatomy and physiology of the eye as well as the assessment of ocular circulation in health and disease. It offers a cutting-edge analysis of the eye's blood supply and how it is affected by conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. 425 illustrations -- including 250 in full color -- detail anatomy, techniques, the results of imaging studies, and more. Reviews -"This is an informative and richly illustrated atlas that contains practical and useful information about normal and abnormal ocular blood flow and its assessment. This book will appeal to clinicians and scientists with an interest in ocular blood flow. Also, the atlas will provide essential information for trainees with a special interest in the field." --Graefe's Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmology, 242:687, 25 June 2004 Key Features -Gain a clear understanding of the anatomy/physiology of the blood supply to and within the eye to help make more effective clinical decisions. -Analyze the potential effects of blood flow changes in various eye illnesses to see how they are influenced by diseases like glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. -Rely on the extensive experience of the authors in implementing new technologies to better access ocular circulation.
