Description
Now in its revised, updated Second Edition, this volume is a complete and current guide to the use of laser surgery for treatment of posterior segment disorders. The authors have condensed the vast literature on the indications, techniques, and complications of laser surgery into one concise, accessible handbook, organized in outline format for speedy reference and extensively illustrated. The Second Edition has been completely rewritten to provide up-to-date information on new types of lasers, wavelength selection, photocoagulation techniques, diseases treated by laser surgery, and findings from all major clinical trials, including the latest results of the Central Vein Occlusion Study and the Macular Photocoagulation Study. More than 1,000 new references to the literature have been added, and each disease-oriented chapter begins with a succinct overview of the literature. The format of the book has been modified for greater readability, and numerous new illustrations and tables have been added
