Full Description
This book introduces a unique computer system for predicting the outcome of strabismus surgeries. Diagnostic data of individual surgical cases, related diagnosis and treatments are incorporated into a well-designed, clinically applicable simulation model. Based on a biomechanical model of the human eye, a new way of interactive, virtual eye muscle surgery is proposed, which enables the prediction of surgical outcomes based on objective, anatomically related and measured data. Additionally, a realistic three-dimensional visualization of the human eyes and their muscles supports detailed evaluation and meaningful interpretation of eye motility disorders. This software system is neither intended to replace common clinical diagnostics, nor surgical expertise. It should improve education, training, and the accuracy of clinical decisions due to the possibility of simulation, graphical representation and comparison of different eye motility disorders.
Computer Assisted Eye Motility Diagnostics, 2nd Edition brings education in the field of ophthalmology to a new dimension - for the basics of the function of the oculomotor control to deep inside knowledge for dealing with complex eye motility disorders and to create motivation and interest in strabology through learning by doing.
