Perimetry is the systematic measurement of visual field function. It is primarily used in the diagnosis of glaucoma, but also for retinal diseases and neuro-ophthalmic disorders. Authored by a multidisciplinary team of experts, this book is a practical guide to the use of perimetry in the diagnosis of eye disorders. Divided into three sections, the book begins with an overview of automated perimetry, describing the normal visual field and comparing perimeters. The following section discusses visual field interpretation, covering single visual field analysis, Octopus technology perimetry, and visual field progression. The third section examines special situations including neuro-ophthalmic, retinal and macular disorders, structural and functional correlation in glaucoma, frequency doubling, and short wavelength automated perimetry; with the final chapters providing commentary on recent advances, integrating technologies, care and maintenance of perimeters, and the history of perimetry.

Glaucoma is a condition of the eye in which the optic nerve is damaged due to increased fluid pressure in the eye. Left untreated, the condition may lead to permanent blindness. The disease is usually picked up during a routine eye test, often before it causes any noticeable symptoms. Other tests are needed afterwards to diagnose and monitor the condition. The purpose of glaucoma screening tests is to detect patients with early stage disease, so that they can be treated to reduce the risk of visual field loss, and better manage the condition. This manual is a comprehensive guide to setting up a community-based glaucoma screening program. With checklists and detail on equipment, manpower, and required infrastructure, the text provides insight into encouraging community participation, support mobilisation, and data recording. The book also provides a clear plan for action when screening delivers a positive result, along with continuous monitoring of the program for efficacy and acceptance.

Glaucoma is a condition of the eye in which the optic nerve is damaged due to increased fluid pressure in the eye. Left untreated, the condition may lead to permanent blindness. This book is a guide to the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. Beginning with an overview of the condition and its symptoms, the following chapters cover diagnostic and treatment methods for different causes and types of glaucoma. The text concludes with discussion on surgical management of glaucoma, through both filtration and lasers, and minimally invasive procedures. A complete chapter is dedicated to childhood glaucoma. Edited by internationally recognised specialists from around the world, the book is highly illustrated with clinical images, diagrams and tables. Key concepts are explained with the help of clinical cases.

Glaucoma is a condition of the eye in which the optic nerve is damaged due to increased fluid pressure in the eye. Left untreated, the condition may lead to permanent blindness. Presented as a collection of clinical case studies, this book is a complete guide to the treatment of glaucoma for both ophthalmologists and trainees. Beginning with an introduction to ocular hypertension, investigation techniques and the diagnosis of glaucoma, the following chapters describe different treatment methods. Potential surgical complications are discussed in detail to help clinicians determine the most appropriate management options. The final section covers clinical trials in glaucoma. Clinical photographs, flow charts and algorithms for patient management enhance learning. Key Points Comprehensive guide to diagnosis and treatment of glaucomaPresented as collection of clinical case studiesIn depth discussion on surgical complicationsIncludes photographs, flow charts and algorithms to assist learning

Manual of Glaucoma is a comprehensive reference guide to the basics, diagnosis and new surgical possibilities for the treatment of glaucoma. This book is divided into 44 chapters across six sections covering fundamentals, diagnosis, open angle glaucoma, angle closure glaucoma, childhood glaucoma, and a final section on new techniques for managing glaucoma. Beginning with the anatomy of the optic nerve head, and the pathophysiology and classification of glaucoma, subsequent chapters cover methods of diagnosis such as Gonioscopy and OCT, variations of glaucoma such as pigmentary glaucoma and malignant glaucoma, and congenital and developmental glaucoma in children. Manual of Glaucoma also includes a separate chapter on complementary and alternative therapies, as well as new surgical modalities, wound healing techniques and postoperative care. Enhanced by 236 full colour images and illustrations, Manual of Glaucoma is an essential source of reference for ophthalmologists and ophthalmology residents.
