Salient Features: This edition consists of 7 sections including 24 chapters. It is very rich in information, figures, illustrations, and clinical examples. It follows Sinjab's methodology in the step-by-step systematic approach.
It covers:
¿ Clinical basics of corneal optics, geometry, topography and tomography
¿ All profiles, maps and displays of the Pentacam HR including the Belin Ambrosio enhanced ectasia display, Holladay report, and corneal topometry
¿ Clinical basics of wavefront analysis and measurements including Zernike analysis and Fourier analysis
¿ New tomographic definitions and features of ectatic corneal diseases
¿ Grading systems of ectatic corneal diseases including the Belin ABCD keratoconus staging.
It is the first book to:
¿ Establish screening guidelines
¿ Present a new systematic interpretation of corneal tomography and practical subjective scoring system
¿ Discuss factors of false positives and false negatives
¿ Address tomographic features of corneas after keratorefractive procedures and after corneal grafts
¿ Study in-depth corneal irregularities using a new 4-selective composite map and new understanding of corneal astigmatism
¿ Address the new concept of corneal refraction and related subjects such as objective corneal dioptric power and astigmatic dissociation
¿ Show the importance of enantiomorphism
¿ Present entities misdiagnosed as ectasia and how to differentiate them from ectasia
¿ Discuss progression criteria of ectatic corneal diseases, corneal tomography and aberrometry in cataract surgery.
