Clinical Atlas of Gonioscopy comprehensively and systematically covers all aspects of gonioscopy: from basic knowledge and common manifestations to characteristic signs of different diseases, and the application of gonioscopy in the laser and surgical treatment of glaucoma. Including over a thousand high-quality images, it helps clinicians explore the diverse and fascinating world of the anterior chamber angle, and deepens their understanding of the pathogenesis, classification, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment and follow-ups of glaucoma.
- 'Clinical Atlas of Gonioscopy' encompasses the many years of clinical experience and teaching expertise of all the editors and contributors who have wide-ranging experience in gonioscopy
- Includes many high-quality images to show readers a detailed view of the clinical observations under slit lamps and surgical microscopes
- Embodies innovative teaching concepts, incorporating Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methods and interactive learning using QR codes. It provides additional resources via QR codes, allowing readers not only to view static images but also to scan QR codes for dynamic examination and to observe gonioscope-assisted glaucoma laser treatment and minimally invasive surgery
- Provides clear and comprehensive explanations, allowing readers to follow step-by-step and use the illustrations to master this important basic clinical technique
