Retinal and Optic Conditions

This work shows the retina in normal and diseased states using the innovative OCT 3000. Topics include macular and other retinal diseases, glaucoma, and a description of OCT technology. An appendix is included for those interested in learning more about the principles of operation of this medical diagnostic imaging technology. The text's primary objective is to illustrate the appearance of the eye in health and disease, comparing conventional clinical technologies with OCT. This method introduces the clinician to the manifestations of disease as elucidated by OCT, while presenting the more familiar funduscopic and fluorescein angiographic appearance side-by-side. The text should provide a clinical reference for the retinal and glaucoma specialist which shows how to utilize and interpret OCT imaging to enhance diagnostic sensitivity and specificity as well as to enhance therapeutic decision-making and monitor the outcome of treatment.
