Retinal and Choroidal Vascular Diseases of the Eye

Retinal and Choroidal Vascular Diseases of the Eye explores a variety of retinal and choroidal vascular diseases, covering their pathogenesis, clinical features, and management strategies. The book begins with an outline of the basic features of retinal and choroidal vasculature before moving on to imaging techniques. Chapters then delve into specific diseases and abnormalities, as well as vascular diseases that are associated with systemic inflammatory diseases. The book then moves onto considering vascular diseases associated with system conditions before considering vascular tumors. Recent innovations and upcoming treatment options are also explored for the various diseases throughout the book.

This comprehensive reference provides a deep dive into vascular diseases of the eye, and is a must-have reference for ophthalmologists, medical and surgical retina specialists, and researchers in related fields.
