In Vivo Confocal Microscopy in Eye Disease is a
comprehensive new text that covers the latest advances in the field
of in vivo confocal imaging. It presents a detailed overview of the
basic anatomy of the different part of the cornea, conjunctiva and
adnexal structures. It discusses the use of in vivo confocal microscopy
in a range of clinical applications including the diagnosis of infective
keratitis, corneal dystrophies, cornea nerves, conjunctival diseases
and their differentiating features. Numerous confocal images, clinical
pictures, other paraclinical images and histopathology slides of
different ocular pathologies are examined and presented throughout the
text.
This book systematically reviews the use of confocal
imaging in basic science of ocular tissues to the diagnosis of eye
disease assembled in a single volume. It provides an up to date resource
with an in depth review of scientific literature relating to both the
clinical and research application of in vivo confocal microscopy in eye
disease. The book ends with a discussion on non-ocular application of in
vivo confocal microscopy and future developments including other
emerging imaging technologies. This text will provide an invaluable
resource for those who are interested in ocular imaging and it
represents a timely resource for all practicing and trainee
ophthalmologists
