This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This open access book discusses basic clinical concepts of myopia, prevention of progression and surgical treatments for myopia and pathological myopia. It also summarises the latest evidence and best practices for managing myopia, high myopia and its complications. Written by leading experts, the book addresses clinical diagnosis and interpretation of imaging modalities, and various complications of myopia such as glaucoma, choroidal neovascularization, retinal degeneration and cataracts. It is a valuable comprehensive resource for general and sub-specialist ophthalmologists as well as residents and ophthalmologists in training.; This work was published by Saint Philip Street Press pursuant to a Creative Commons license permitting commercial use.

Book Description
This thesis has investigated nearwork-induced transient myopia and accommodation responses in relation to refractive stability, multichromatic stimuli and orthokeratology. Five individual studies have been carried out. Initially an investigation into the temporal and dioptric aspects of nearwork-induced transient myopia was undertaken, suggesting that increased task duration does not increase the level, or slow the regression of post-task NITM, however an increase in the dioptric demand of the task does. In the second study, a longitudinal myopia progression study, these findings were related to short term myopia progression. The third investigation demonstrates the feasibility of measuring the biometric correlates of nearwork-induced transient myopia using a low coherence reflectometry device (LenStar, Haag Streit Koeniz, Switzerland). Fourthly, a comparison of the differences between static and dynamic accommodative responses, microfluctuations and nearwork-induced transient myopia produced when viewing a black/white target as oppose to a red/blue target has suggested the possibility of four accommodative responses to this multichromatic stimulus. Further investigation will be necessary to investigate if any of these response types are related to myopia progression. 2 The final study investigates the effect of two different designs of orthokeratology contact lenses (C5 and polynomial) on visual function. It appears to be the case that although the polynomial lens design has a larger refractive effect than the C5 lens it reduces both high and low contrast corrected visual acuity to a greater extent. The higher the baseline mean spherical equivalent refractive error the larger the detrimental effect.

Pages : 141
Book Description
This monograph is a structured review of models of oculomotor control systems that is geared toward biomedical engineers, vision scientists, and optometry students. It aims to provide the biomedical engineer with a thorough understanding of how various engineering control principles are applied to oculomotor systems, and the non-engineer with knowledge of how various physiological and clinical concepts can be represented quantitatively and efficiently by control system models.Basic control system concepts and oculomotor physiology are first introduced, along with a glossary, to provide background for the more advanced topics. Then, these concepts are applied to static linear and nonlinear analysis of various oculomotor systems. In addition, advanced topics are presented on the application of dynamic linear and nonlinear modeling techniques to the oculomotor system, with a particular emphasis on myopia development. This book can thus serve as a unique reference for quantitative analysis of oculomotor control, and as a foundation for future research on the oculomotor system.

Pages : 474
Book Description
Choroidal Disorders provides an overview on various chorioretinal disorders with a special emphasis on choroidal imaging. As our understanding of the choroid has significantly improved with the development of advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its role in posterior segment diseases is gaining new significance, this book focuses on the related improvements, diagnostic capabilities, management and prognosis of various chorioretinal disorders. It covers conventional techniques, such as ultrasonography and indocyanine green angiography as well as the most advanced techniques, including enhanced depth imaging OCT, swept source OCT, and OCT angiography. Concise overview of various chorioretinal disorders, with special emphasis on choroidal imaging Written for practitioners and researchers in sensory systems (vision), ophthalmologists, and retina specialists Covers the most advanced imaging techniques in choroidal disorders, such as enhanced depth imaging OCT, swept source OCT, and OCT angiography
Pathologic Myopia
Author: Richard F. SpaidePublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030743349
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 461
Book Description
Pathologic Myopia is a major cause of severe vision loss worldwide. The mechanisms for vision loss include cataract, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and above all, myopic maculopathy within the posterior staphyloma. The first edition of Pathologic Myopia is one of the only current books to specifically address this disease and discusses recent developments in imaging technologies and various approaches to treatments, such as laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, pharmaco-therapeutic injections in the vitreous, and surgery. This new edition is a timely update to the standard reference in the field, with new chapters on advanced refractive error correction, genetics, developing a classification system, and special surgical approaches for pathologic myopia. Complete with even more high-quality color images and informative tables, this book is written and edited by leaders in the field and is geared towards ophthalmologists, including residents and fellows in training, glaucoma and cataract specialists, and vitreoretinal macula experts.
