{"product_id":"9781617112232","title":"Keratoconus and Keratoectasia: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment","description":"In recent years, keratoconus and keratoectasia have become increasingly important ophthalmic diseases due to the increasing number of keratorefractive surgeries being performed, the subsequent rising number of complications, and the availability of new treatment modalities for keratoconus and keratoectasia other than corneal transplantation. For both the genetic form of the disease (keratoconus) and the acquired form (keratoectasia), new modalities of diagnosis and treatment have enabled physicians to manage and treat these diseases earlier and more effectively, which can delay or even prevent major surgeries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeratoconus and Keratoectasia: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment by Dr. Ming Wang, along with over 40 contributors, represents the first state-of-the-art, comprehensive synthesis of the current understanding of the etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of keratoconus and keratoectasia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiagnostic Modalities Include:\u003cbr\u003eTopographic diagnosis - placido disc and elevational mapping analysis\u003cbr\u003ePosterior corneal analysis, three-point touch method and FFKC criteria 2009\u003cbr\u003eCorneal pachymetry mapping and progression analysis\u003cbr\u003eStatistical analysis packages for KC\u003cbr\u003eNew imaging technologies for the cornea including OCT\u003cbr\u003eTopographic corneal irregularity analysis for premium IOLs\u003cbr\u003eMeasuring corneal strength - corneal hysteresis\u003cbr\u003eCorneal epithelial mapping with ultrasound biomicroscopy\u003cbr\u003eWavefront analysis in keratoconus\u003cbr\u003eInfrared light image screening - a new screening tool for keratoconus\u003cbr\u003eTreatments Include:\u003cbr\u003eNon-surgical treatment with contact lenses\u003cbr\u003eOcular surface treatment\u003cbr\u003eLamellar and penetrating keratoplasty\u003cbr\u003eExcimer laser surface treatment\u003cbr\u003eTopography-guided excimer laser treatment\u003cbr\u003eWavefront-guided excimer laser treatment\u003cbr\u003eIntacs intracorneal segment\u003cbr\u003eUV-cross linking\u003cbr\u003eCombination treatment of cross-linking, Intacs and excimer laser ablation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeratoconus and Keratoectasia: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment is a concise, well-illustrated and clinically indispensable guide for treating these two important ophthalmic diseases and is a must-have for all ophthalmologists, optometrists, residents, fellows, and medical students.","brand":"SLACK, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135777652976,"sku":"9781617112232","price":151.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781617112232_p0.jpg?v=1763852066","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781617112232","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
