This book is intended to provide a quick guide to the field of pediatric retina. It has been long accepted that retinal disorders in children differ from those in adults. Although there are plenty of published books on retinal diseases, most of them only cover adult retinal disorders. Therefore, information on pediatric retinal diseases is urgently needed.The book combines comprehensive information with rich illustrations to offer readers an in-depth understanding of the two main themes: retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and other pediatric vitreoretinal disorders. World-renowned pediatric retina experts share their insights and research findings in areas such as ROP, familiar exudative vitreoretinopathy, Coats disease, retinoblastoma, congenital x-linked retinoschisis and hereditary retinal diseases. Topics concerning modern and future medicine such as tele-screening for ROP, E-learning for ROP, and deep learning for ROP are also included. Designed to help readers understand the contents as quickly as possible, the book includes many useful tips and pearls, as well as easy-to-follow figures. It covers the majority of pediatric retinal diseases and offers essential information on their diagnosis and management. In addition, relevant and up-to-date references are provided for those who want to explore the topics in more depth. As such, the book offers an excellent reference guide to caring for these young patients.

This book introduces the principle, main parameters, acquisition mode and operation procedure of Optical Quality Analysis System II (OQAS II) based on double-pass technology.

These materials can be implanted in the body to provide a special prosthetic function. They can also be used in surgical, diagnostics and therapeutic applications.Keywords: Biopolymer Materials, Surgery Devices, Diagnostics, Therapeutic Applications, Tissue Engineering, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, Guided Tissue Regeneration, Membranes for Dental Applications, Denture Lining Materials, Guided Bone Regeneration/

In this book, a functional contrast of the human neurons in the retina based on the phase information of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) signal is presented. To gain access to the phase information, data is recorded with a full-field swept-source OCT. By axial and lateral parallelization of the data acquisition, the influence of motion artifacts on the phase can be minimized, so that the phase information is available for an analysis of the physiological changes of the sample.In this book, the technical implementation of full-field imaging, the algorithms necessary for the phase analysis, such as registration, segmentation, numerical aberration and dispersion correction, and the phase analysis itself are presented. This recording technology, combined with the numerical processing, was then used to detect functional changes in the neurons of the retina. Functional changes in both the photoreceptors and the inner plexiform layer (IPL) were detected and the functional contributions of different cell types to the phase change were differentiated.

Blindness is the most tragic, yet often avoidable, disability of people in the developing world. The personal, social and economic consequence of blindness has become an important public health issue, especially in underdeveloped and developing countries. In response to the global need, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), along with various national organizations have come together with the common aim of tackling avoidable forms of blindness worldwide and have created a global movement called Vision 2020: The Right to Sight. This initiative's mission is to eliminate the main causes of avoidable blindness by the year 2020. A recent estimate by the WHO, released in 2004, has claimed that nearly 37 million people around the world were blind that includes 1.4 million children under the age of 15 years (Resnikoff et al., 2004). The WHO report also suggests that 75% of blindness is caused by four specific age-related conditions such as cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Cataract is a leading cause of blindness, which accounts for 47.8% of total blindness, followed by glaucoma (12.3%), age-related macular degeneration (8.7%) and diabetic retinopathy (4.8%).

This book describes how trocar cannulas can be utilized by cataract surgeons in the treatment of complications of cataract injuries. Cataract is still the first cause of blindness in the world, and as such, complications inevitably occur during and after surgery. Trocar surgery has the potential to revolutionize anterior segment surgery, demonstrated here as an easy-to-use technique for conquering the pars plana region. This book describes the simple technique of trocar surgery utilizing trocar cannulas with clear and precise diagrams and video content, making it easy to learn and implement for cataract surgeons.Trocar Surgery for Cataract Surgeons systematically details how trocar surgery can be used to expand the surgical spectrum for cataract surgeons and provide the basis for novel surgical techniques in the field.
