Request a sales quoteAdvances in Age-Related Macular Degeneration provides ophthalmologists and eye researchers an integrated approach to age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss in aged people. In this book, international leading experts summarize the most recent findings of new imaging devices’ studies in AMD and highlight potential benefits and adaptations of new technologies. The book begins with the two core components essential for proper interpretation of imaging studies: relevant histologic features in AMD and basic principles of different imaging technologies. Sections then relate imaging features from the clinic with histological findings and showcase up-to-date information on retina in AMD and normal aging.The book also includes the basic science behind AMD, exploring genetics, animal models and hot topics such as OCTA imaging and the application of artificial intelligence in AMD. The integrated and translational approach of this book makes this an essential reference for researchers and clinicians in the field.
- Provides comprehensive coverage on a range of hot topics within AMD, including animal models, new imaging devices such as OCT and OCTA, early/intermediate AMD, and AI in AMD and more, thus giving readers a thorough understanding of the most common cause of blindness
- Relates imaging features from the clinic with histological findings, allowing readers to easily understand and interpret findings
- Adopts an integrated and translational approach that is suitable for researchers, clinicians, residents and students who are interested in AMD and retinal diseases
- Edited and written by leading and international experts, the book focuses on the most recent and novel findings in the past five years

Enrico Borrelli
Enrico Borrelli, MD, graduated from Vita-Salute San Raffaele University (Milan, Italy) in 2013. He completed his residency in ophthalmology at Gabriele D’Annunzio University (Chieti, Italy) and his clinical research fellowship in medical retina and retinal imaging at Doheny Eye Institute, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA (Los Angeles, CA, USA). Currently, he works as retina specialist at San Raffaele Hospital (Milan, Italy). His research interests include image analysis and ocular imaging (retinal and choroidal disorders), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), pachychoroid disease, and diabetic retinopathy. He has performed pioneering work in opening the field of color autofluorescence and in employing OCT angiography to detect changes in the choriocapillaris in AMD subjects.
He has authored or co-authored over 160 articles in peer reviewed international journals. He has given a number of invited lectures at meetings. He is recipient of a number of prizes and he is on the board of medical societies (national and specialized), as well as a consultant to numerous pharmaceutical companies.
