Description
Springer Ocular Vascular Occlusive Disorders 1st Editon 2016 Softbound by Sohan Singh Hayreh
This book provides a comprehensive account of the pathogenesis, clinical features, and management of ocular vascular occlusive disorders, with the focus very much on the scientific evidence. This offers a sound basis for addressing the many controversies that surround these disorders, which collectively constitute the most common cause of visual impairment or blindness. The book is divided into two sections, the first of which addresses the basic science and encompasses vascular anatomy, blood supply and flow, and retinal tolerance time to acute ischemia. The second, clinical, section covers the presentation, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of the full range of vascular occlusive disorders of the retina, the choroid, the anterior segment of the eye, ophthalmic manifestations of carotid artery disease and the optic nerve. Ocular Vascular Occlusive Disorders, written by a distinguished world leader in the field, will be invaluable for general ophthalmologists, and particularly for retina specialists, neuro-ophthalmologists, and researchers. BASIC SCIENCES: Ophthalmic artery.- Central retinal artery.- Cilioretinal artery.- Posterior ciliary arteries.- Orbital veins.- Retinal capillaries.- Optic nerve head blood supply.- Anterior segment blood supply.- Blood-retinal barrier.- Blood flow.- Retinal tolerance time to acute ischemia.
