Ocular Traumatology

From the lid to the optic nerve of both mechanical and nonmechanical trauma, this unique book, edited by a world-recognized authority in the field, covers all aspects of ophthalmic trauma. The coverage focuses on practical issues, but also incorporates cutting-edge approaches, such as temporary keratosprosthesis, artificial iris diaphragm, and prophylactic retinectomy. With information based on epidemiologic and clinical data from evaluation to management, this book explains and answers not simply the when, the what, and the how, but also the why. The user-friendly format, includes a huge number of tables, flowcharts and illustrations, and thus allows readers to quickly find the information they need. In addition, all chapters are written using standardized ocular traumatology terminology. As if that weren’t enough, the book also contains management issues and unique epidemiological information from the world’s largest database (United States Eye Injury Registry). An accompanying DVD illustrates via video-clips the surgical procedures covered in the book.
