In the early stages of keratoconus, visual acuity may be normal and slit-lamp examination is not able to identify the disease phenotype. Early diagnosis of keratoconus is of major importance for effective treatment. That is why corneal topography and tomography has become the gold standard examination for diagnosis of corneal ectasia. Corneal topography is a non-contact imaging tool that gives information about the anterior surface of the cornea. Corneal tomography evaluates both anterior and posterior corneal surfaces and is considered mandatory for preoperatory evaluation before refractive surgery. Until recently, Kmax was the main indicator for the progression of keratoconus, but recent studies showed that posterior elevation represents the first signal of an ectatic corneal disease. Cross-linking is considered the gold standard in the treatment of keratoconus and newer techniques allow this procedure to be selective on the areas of corneal thinning.

This book explores the development, optics and physiology of astigmatism and places this knowledge in the context of modern management of this aspect of refractive error. It is written by, and aimed at, the astigmatism practitioner to assist in understanding astigmatism and its amelioration by optical and surgical techniques. It also addresses the integration of astigmatism management into the surgical approach to cataract and corneal disease including corneal transplantation.

The book covers various aspects of the management of keratoconus, which is a leading cause of visual impairment in young adults. It focuses on the epidemiology and risk factors of keratoconus with a special focus on Southeast Asia. Keratoconus affects the quality of vision, thereby affecting the quality of life. While most patients present with defective vision, many are diagnosed accidentally during screening for refractive surgery. The book covers the varied epidemiology of keratoconus across different parts of the world. It discusses many systemic and ocular diseases associated with keratoconus. The book covers the newer diagnostic techniques and various treatment procedures for keratoconus, helping in diagnosing keratoconus in the early stages and closely watching the progression. It discusses various contact lenses to improve vision quality; widely used collagen crosslinking, and its various modifications for halting the progression. It also explains the surgical approach for keratoconus, such as penetrating keratoplasty, lamellar keratoplasty and other lens-assisted procedures. The book is relevant for general ophthalmologists and cornea specialists.

"This fifth volume of the series Lectures in Optics provides a comprehensive coverage of the field of Ocular Imaging, which is a broad field covering diagnostic instrumentation that aid into the production of biometric data and two-dimensional images of the eye. Aided by developments in digital imaging and computer processing, Ocular Imaging has known an explosive growth that has transformed ocular care in a very precise and accurate field, assisting both the diagnosis of several diseases, as well as the management, planning, and postoperative follow-up of several surgical procedures, leading the way to refractive procedures such as laser corneal refractive correction of ametropia. The field can be so broad that no book can possibly cover the entirety of this field. In this book, we start with the diagnostics (such as ultrasound and optical ones) that focus on the anterior segment of the eye. Then, technologies such as Scheimpflug, slit scan, optical coherence tomography, Placido and color-coded elevation topography are presented, with applications such as pachymetry and the accurate measurement of corneal curvature, shape, and biomechanics. Yet another field of imaging is aberrations measurement. Aberrometry is evaluating the optical system of the eye in its entirety and as such bears significant attention. Finally, the applications of ocular imaging are presented alongside the laser corneal surgical procedures for the correction of the refractive error of the eye"--

Mycotic keratitis, also known asfungal keratitis, is commonly defined as an inflammation of the cornea. Globally, mycotic keratitis is more common as compared to others eye disorders. Though it occurs in all parts of the world it is more prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas. Mycotic Keratitis emphasizes novel perspectives on mycotic keratitis treatments and addresses different therapies used in treatment. The book is designed to be immensely useful for the students and teachers of microbiology, medicine, mycology, ophthalmology, biotechnology and nanotechnology. Medical microbiology researchers in general and medical mycology in particular will find it a valuable user-friendly book.

Infectious eye disorders represent one of the most feared, sight-threatening, and challenging clinical ocular conditions. Visual loss due to eye infection significantly impacts patients’ productivity and quality of life. The development of accurate diagnostic tests and better treatment alternatives results from intensive and innovative medical research committed to improving the standard of care of patients suffering from these blinding diseases. This book focuses on the most recent advances in diagnostic techniques for common infectious disorders, including viral, fungal, and contact lens-related keratitis, infectious uveitis, endophthalmitis, and COVID-19-related eye infection. It also describes the current therapeutic strategies that significantly reduce the rate of ocular complications and improve the visual outcome of patients suffering from such devastating disorders.
