Optical Coherence Tomography of the Anterior Segment

Description:

This book is a highly illustrated, practical guide to anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) with numerous photographs and didactic information throughout. Clear and concise chapters outline the diagnostics of the anterior segment of the eye with clinical advice given to support ophthalmic surgeons with pre and intraoperative surgery planning as well as postoperative follow-up care.

Optical Coherence Tomography of the Anterior Segment will be a useful resource for everyday practice to allow clinicians to grow their expertise in this patient-friendly and common diagnostic procedure. As the procedure continues to gain popularity, this book will be an indispensable resource for all levels of ophthalmologist who wish to improve their knowledge and techniques of anterior segment OCT.
