Glaucoma Imaging by Antonio Ferreras

By Antonio Ferreras

This atlas bargains a really entire replace at the use of imaging applied sciences for the prognosis and follow-up of glaucoma. as well as ordinary automatic perimetry, gonioscopy, fundus images, and stereophotography, different complicated, high-resolution tools for imaging the attention in glaucoma are defined intimately, together with ultrasound biomicroscopy, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, scanning laser polarimetry, and spectral area optical coherence tomography. The function of a number of the assessments and the keys to optimizing their use in medical perform are designated due to top quality figures in an effort to let the reader to accomplish the absolute best functionality while utilising those instruments. the chance of constructing visible incapacity and blindness on account of glaucoma varies largely between affected members. custom-made checking out techniques and adapted healing interventions are required to successfully decrease visible impairment because of glaucoma. Glaucoma Imaging will support citizens, researchers, and clinicians in bettering their skill to appreciate and combine the data bought utilizing conventional ideas with the studies supplied through computer-assisted photograph instruments.

17), or heavy pigmented; pigmentation anterior to the Schwalbe’s line constitutes the Sampaolesi’s line (Fig. 18), and this is often disposed noisily, resembling salt and pepper. The parallelepiped or the corneal wedge technique can be used to identify the exact position of the Schwalbe’s line (Figs. 21). By using a thin slit of light inclined 10–15° from the angle of the oculars, two separate corneal reflections can be seen, one from the inner surface of the cornea, and one from the outer surface.

Sometimes it is not visible because of an anterior iris insertion, iris processes (Fig. 25), excessive pigmentation (Fig. 26), or peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS).
