Full Description
Advances in Age-Related Macular Degeneration provides ophthalmologists and eye researchers an integrated approach to age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss in aged people. In this book, international leading experts summarize the most recent findings of new imaging devices' studies in AMD and highlight potential benefits and adaptations of new technologies. The book begins with the two core components essential for proper interpretation of imaging studies: relevant histologic features in AMD and basic principles of different imaging technologies. Sections then relate imaging features from the clinic with histological findings and showcase up-to-date information on retina in AMD and normal aging.The book also includes the basic science behind AMD, exploring genetics, animal models and hot topics such as OCTA imaging and the application of artificial intelligence in AMD. The integrated and translational approach of this book makes this an essential reference for researchers and clinicians in the field.
