2015 2016 Basic And Clinical Science Course, Section 5: Neuro Ophthalmology

Reviews the anatomy, physiology, embryology, and pathology of the lens. Also provides an overview of lens and cataract surgery, and describes the complications of surgery.

Details the anatomy of the orbit and adnexa, and emphasizes a practical approach to the evaluation and management of orbital and eyelid disorders, including malpositions and involutional changes. Updates current information on congenital, inflammatory, infectious, neoplastic and traumatic conditions of the orbit and accessory structures.

Discusses current applications of optical phenomena, including the optical foundations of lasers, spectacles, IOLs and refractive surgery. Presents optics of the human eye; basic concepts of geometric optics; ophthalmic instruments and contact lenses.

Begins with an in-depth overview of immunemedicated eye disease, summarizing basic immunologic concepts, ocular immune responses and special topics in ocular immunology.

Major Revision This year Section 3 is updated to include nine videos, a Quick-Start guide to optics and how to refract, and each chapter now includes highlights and a glossary.

This volume is divided into two parts: Part I, Ophthalmic Pathology; and Part II, Intraocular Tumors: Clinical Aspects. Part I uses a hierarchy that moves from general to specific to help derive a differential diagnosis for a specific tissue.

Details the anatomy of the orbit and adnexa, and emphasizes a practical approach to the evaluation and management of orbital and eyelid disorders, including malpositions and involutional changes.
